Very Good. (7.1). 14 x 15 mm chip to side lip which is reasonably deep, but an easy one to fill. Little dip to opposite upper lip is in making. 3 x 3 mm impact mark to lower lip has a really small surface flake from it. Fine inner dirt, this will soak out. Nibbled T of Trade mark near base edge. Scuffed mark and a couple of short scratches near the YL of Daylesford. 3 x 3 mm nibbled impact near base edge amongst a shortish scuffed scratch. Fisheye or two elsewhere around the base edge. Tiniest of nicks to heel. Little scuffed patch to the 2 of 1862. Tiny deep scratch to side mid body. A few tiny fisheyes and impact marks. Some minor scratches and marks. Little nibbled spot to chamber near end of neck groove. Inner chamber has a couple of spots of marble wear at each end, these are small. This open bubble to upper neck has a little dirt in it, another thin open bubble to inner neck groove. Another to inner neck dimple has a little dirt in it, these are all minor and from making. A good clean and simple filling of the lip chip will leave a great example of this extremely rare and sought after bottle. I can't recall a large one of these selling publicly.. Estimate: $3000-4000
