Very Good. Polished. Some pitted scratches around the lip. Oiled internally, this remains slightly dull with some grime inside as well. There is a burst bubble internally to the inner rear shoulder that is a little dark around the edges. Embossing is a little rounded in places, although the main writing is heavy. A few small open bubbles. Some fisheyes and little impact marks to be found. Quite hard to get, this example with the lamont stopper is rarer than the marble stoppered example. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $450 - 500
