Very Good. Lovely colour and strong embossing on this one. There is a fairly difficult to see bruise on the inside back lip - 15 x 7 mm. Some minor spots of dirt inside but will clean out easily. Just typical light scuffs and scratches outside. There is an old collectors label on the shoulder reading "The Foster Brewing Co 1875" - of course Fosters began in 1888 and these Pty Ltd beers tend to date from the late 1890s-1900s. Bottle would probably rate as Excellent without the bruise but displays beautifully as is. Grade: 7.75 Estimate: $40 - 60
