Excellent. Polished. Beautiful finish with mould lines and the like still very clear. Top of the lip may be ground down just a fraction, but there is what look like manufacturing tool type marks on part of it so not much if it has been done. Remains of a couple of deeper scratches or mould lines to the front through the lower two lines of embossing. A tiny burst bubble at the base edge. A lovely looking early patent aerated water bottle. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $80 - 120
