N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. 5 x 4 mm chip to the front lip. Two or three flakes over the edge of the lip. Lovely rest of the bottle with some light stain through the shoulder. Nice looking bottle. 2. Good. A deep filled chip to the back left top of about 15 x 10 mm. Right around the whole middle of the bottle (at about the level of the bottom of the words Ginger Beer) is a crack that is quite open and obvious for the most part. This crack is also visible inside. The surprising thing is there is no sign of glue holding this together! Seems like some sort of firing crack that is connected enough that the bottle remains intact. There are some fine hairlines coming off this crack at angles. Actually quite a good looking bottle, just a weird one! Estimate: $30-60
