1. Very Good. Remains of capsule around lip. Lip is odd with a deep groove between the lip and neck as made, probably for wire to hold a cork in place? Minor sliver to upper lip seems to be an open bubble. A fair bit of dust and grime which should wash off. Some scratches and scuff marks. Nice colour, plenty of nice bubbles through this bottle. 2. Very Good. Stained. Some rust stain near shoulder. Some dust and grime. Some scratches. 3. Very Good. Stained. Impact bruise to base edge. Little open bubble. 4. Good. Some chipping to the end of the spout, typical for one of these. Curved hairline from front upper body, across the right shoulder and lower right neck, then down about half way to the rear where it is discoloured. The rear in this instance is opposite the spout, but to the left of the impressed stamp. Some spots of rust stain and other discolouration. 5. Very Good. Small chip to the short spout has a short fracture from it. A fair bit of grime which should wash off. Some inner haze. Nick to one end. A few scratches and minor marks. Interesting little item. 6. Very Good. A tiny amount of contents inside, smells like fuel so it is the original contents. Very dirty and grimy throughout. Maybe a few fine scratches, it is hard to tell. Should clean up really well. The label has a fold, some wear, a thin tear and some discolouration, but is mostly legible. Interesting later bottle. EST: $30 - 40
