Very Good. Polished. 11 x 3 mm inner lip bruise. Looks like the lip has had some polishing work done to it, probably to disguise a small chip or flake or two. Still hazy on the inner neck. Irregular wavy surface open bubble to neck near one of the Reliance lugs. Seems to be a similar irregularity on the inside down near the base. Inclusion to side with a 6 x 4 mm star fracture associated. Smooth surfaces, there are remains of scratches and fisheyes throughout. The embossing is still quite strong. This is a very rare bottle in this large size. Grade: 7 Estimate: $350 - 400
