Fair. (5.7). First of this style that we have sold with the distinctly different lip made for a Horners Patent cap. Cap is not original to this one, but is definitely correct for this bottle, as is the stopper which is also not original to this bottle. There is a nibbled lip impact which has an associated inner lip bruise over 13 x 8 mm. A crack runs through this from the top of the lip down to the shoulder over about 37 mm. Making splits around inner lip. Deep, pitted scratch over about 35 mm across the shoulder and upper embossing. Several other larger scuffed patches, but not as deep. Some light patchy inner haze. Nice, strong embossing throughout has just some minor wear in places. Very rare bottle, we have never sold one of these before, looks great on display with the cap in place. Estimate: $100-200
