Excellent. (8). Remains of original capsule around the lip. A bit of light dullness. Making folds scattered around. Some light surface scratching down the front. Right base edge has a very minor surface flake. Streak in front neck is a bubble type mark from making. Embossing is pristine. Labels are original, neck label is great. Body label has stains, top left corner is missing, some damage to top right corner as well and a bit of wear, but mostly in place and extremely interesting listing all the other locations for this company including Bendigo and Tasmania! Most unusual example all round, the lip is different to normal and with the labels this is quite possibly a unique piece, I can't recall seeing another like this! Estimate: $50-100
