About perfect (a tiny potstone flake is off the shoulder). A crude bottle with numerous bubbles in the glass.
In 1973, legendary spring water collector, Bernhard Puckhaber, created what he called "The Ten Most Wanted Saratogas", from Saratoga County, New York. The Paradise Spring was number 4 on the list. This list has survived the test of time in that with possibly only one exception, they would still be considered the top ten today. Dave Merker Collection.
