Good. (6.9). Now, the lip has had some big chips repaired. Some of the lettering has been rebuilt, certainly the end of Sandhurst and close to half the Hoffmeyer & Co. Beyond this the jar is in great condition. Kiln blowout at the base edge. Minor wear and marks. The repairs are decent, maybe just aging a bit. Good looking early Demijohn overall and very unusual with the lip and shoulder stamps. Estimate: $150-300
