I recently won a Seeing Eye Flask (GIV-43) on eBay.
Looking at the bottle with a magnifying glass I noticed some light scratches about 3/4" down the inside of the neck that go in a somewhat circular direction around the inside (but uneven and not fully around, just 1/3. Also some slight dullness in the neck. This may be associated with the forming and finishing of the fire polished lip. The bottle has some light high-point wear on the eye and arm, and the base has some wear, so I think the outside is original (not cleaned or tumbled). If the inside has been tumbled how much might it effect the value?
I want to get back to the seller soon, so I would appreciate any knowledgable responses soon.
Thanks
