Near Mint. An amazing piece in my mind. Complete with label and contents. Still has the original unusual clamped type screw top on it which is rusty. Original contents in place, I would suggest not using this marmalade though. Some neck grime. Label has some stain and discolouration. Faded in places. All there though, colours are still apparent and it is a great example of a label we have not seen. The most amazing part of all is the etched writing to the rear. Bowring's actually had an early impressed demijohn which is extremely rare, and so this is now a second item from this store! Unique piece in more ways than one! Grade: 9.4 Estimate: $$50.00 - $75.00
