Very Good. (7.3). Hazy with some shiny patches too. Has been found in salt water, there is some coral encrustations to the lip crown. A little rusty looking stain to the surface on the lower neck and down one side a little. 4 x 4 mm mark at front base edge, a discoloured and slightly flaked fisheye. A few other little fisheyes. Strong embossing has some nibbled high point wear in places and little impacts, but is generally pretty good. There is a little flake to one of the B's. Scuffs and scratches scattered around, a couple of slightly deeper examples. Stunning bottle in this light colour, the first we have sold! Estimate: $300-400
