Cosmopoliet / (Man holding bottle) / J. J. Melchers W Z / Schiedam. Base Mark: (Star). Spirits Gin Dutch Case Gin. Applied top. Black. 30 oz. 266 mm. 1870s
Very Good. A classic bottle! Crude folds in lip from making, possibly a tiny flake or two amongst this. A little inner haze in places. Inner upper right has a dark lumpy mark, this actually looks like it may be an inclusion from making, but I am not 100% sure? It may be some crud which will clean out? Either way, no damage is associated. There is some dirt behind the trade mark. 4 x 4 mm shallow bruise to edge of front panel near the right base. A little dullness. Some spots of wear. Some scratches and scuffs. One or two little pitted scratches. The trade mark is huge on these things, there is just some fine high point wear to parts. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $250 - 300
