Mint. This is a crudely made, early bottle. Plenty of airbubbles evident, including a surface bubble to the front embossing area, another under the base and an unusual inclusion in the glass under the base as well. The contents are no longer liquefied in this piece. Staples to the side of the box have rusted, otherwise this bottle and its packaging are just amazing in all facets. Grade: 9.9 Estimate: $20 - 30
