Good. (6.8). Quite a lot of scuffs, scratches and ground in dirt on this one. Chip to inner left lip. Impact mark to right base edge has a fine 15 x 10 mm bruise under it. Nibbles impact surface flake to rear base edge. The print has dirt or stain over it but is quite strong in colour and detail. A great picture of a thick lip milk bottle in the advertising, must be one of the few milk bottles that pictures not only a thick lip milk, but one embossed with Dairy Farmers Co-Op Milk Co Ltd. Quite amazing in my mind. This is the same example as sold in Auction 17, Lot 653. Cotton wool inside for display. Estimate: $200-400
