Condition
Good vintage collectible condition with no obvious chips or cracks visible in the photos.
Shows substantial age and use including haze, dirt/residue, surface scratching, staining, case wear and discoloration, particularly around the lower body and base. Embossed details remain visible.
I would not aggressively clean this one before listing. Collectors generally care more about intact glass and readable embossing than making an old bottle look artificially new.
