Very Good. (7.4). Neck groove is slanted like it is an Empress Patent or similar, however, this looks like it was unintentional and just crudely made. Some inner dirt should soak out. Little open bubble to rear chamber. Left rear lip has a scuffed section with a dark scratch amongst it. Dark scuffed scratch to upper left body, a couple to lower rear as well. Little impact to upper front left. A few fisheyes and impact marks. A few scuffs and some other scratches to be found. Great embossing has minimal marks. This is a great colour, nice example with Launceston on it. Estimate: $50-75
