CONDITION NOTES:

Very Good/VG+ antique condition with just minor -to- moderate cosmetic wear throughout (i.e. scuffs, scratches, stains, dings, dents, etc.) but NO major breaks or repairs. Bottle lip has a small chip (see 6th pic). Bottle body has many small, medium & large air bubbles stemming from the blowing process - they are NOT damage. The clear glass is just slightly hazy (meaning, it's not quite perfectly clear, which is typical of 19th century bottles). Some dirt/dust trapped within bottle, mostly just at bottom. Saloon scene has very little, if any color fading and NO broken pieces. However, the vertical stick/board, at backside has broken free from the bottle (glue residue visible at both wood & glass, see pics 7 & 12), so it does wobble a little when handled/tilted - but not hard enough to fear damaging the scene within (unless you were to violently shake it for an extended period of time...just don't do that). PLEASE REVIEW ALL PICTURES SLOWLY & CAREFULLY. ZOOM-IN AND INSPECT THOROUGHLY.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT:

Measures 11-1/4" tall, overall. Bottle is 10-3/8" tall, base to lip x 4-1/16" wide, at base x 2-3/8" deep, at base. Total weight is 1 lb. 6.6 oz..
