Very Good. (7.7). What a bottle! A little grime and dirt which will soak out. Large bubble to lower rear body has an associated smile shaped fracture to the lower part, the upper edge has a thin flake to it, but it remains solid. There has been a film of resin placed over the top at some stage to ensure it doesn't develop into damage. One or two scratches. Great example of this most unusual patent, we have never sold one of these before. Estimate: $300-500
