Very Good. (7.5). 4 x 2 mm very shallow sliver to upper front left lip, this is very minor. Couple of other little lip nicks. 6 x 4 mm shallow impact bruise to the B of Ballarat. Small and very shallow surface bubble to heel, plenty of other little surface bubbles scattered around. Some minor high point wear to the embossing in places. Some scuffs and scratches scattered around. Mostly though, this is all about the bubbles throughout and the swirls within the glass from making. An amazing looking bottle which is quite rare and extremely sought after. Estimate: $1500-2000.
Reserve: $1000.
