Excellent. (8.8). Wonky lip, this is from making. A little dirt and grime around the embossing and in other areas, this will soak off. Very minor surface bubble to the shoulder. Some minor usage wear to the heel. 5 x 2 mm sliver at base edge at bottom of one of the sharp ribs, barely even noticeable. Some minor surface wear to a couple of these sharp pointed ribs to lower body. A few light scratches and minor marks. Superb example of this highly sought after bottle. This is from the late Kingsley Durdin collection. Estimate: $2500-3000
