Little mark to outer lip edge looks a bit like a flake that has possibly been smoother over, but could also be a making mark, whatever the case, it is very minor. Oiled internally with some associated inner base grime. A few fisheyes towards the base point. 2 x 2 mm nibbled impact to body. Some little fisheyes and impact marks. General light scuffs and scratches, nothing overly deep. Nice looking bottle, quite a sought after item which is one of the earlier Melbourne bottles. Estimate: $500-750
