1. Near Mint. Bottle is quite dirty around the shoulder, needs a good clean. There is some contents at the moment, but the cork is loose, and so this will have to be emptied out prior to packaging unless the winner wants to arrange a pick up. The external packaging label is faded, the packaging itself is deteriorated. The internal paperwork is stained and some tearing as well. Label on the bottle is superb and with bright colour. Nice pharmaceutical piece. (9.1) 2. Mint. Grime on shoulder. Still retains original granulated contents, wax seal, cork. Bottle labels are in great condition, with just the odd stains. Booklet is in good, discoloured condition, this has been folded around bottle, so is deformed, with some minor tearing to covers. Outer packaging is torn across the top, with top part missing and has some tears at bottom. A superb piece of original packaging. (9.5) Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 40
