Some minor wear to base edge, small burst bubble or two. A few fisheyes here and there. Embossing is a little rounded, but very chunky still! Lower embossing is nearly off the bottle it is that low, it does have some crate wear. The rear embossing is more rounded. Tiny flake to rear lip edge. This is a really early codd bottle from this company, which is a lot rarer than their usual codd variations. The first we have sold. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $100 - 150
