N/A. (N/A). 1. Good. 16 x 18 mm chip to lip on writing only side. Annealing marks to inner lip. A little inner water type stain, this will soak out. Little flake or two to the embossing. A few fisheyes. Some typical scuffs and scratches. The mian thing with this is the chip, being at the rear this looks OK on the shelf. 2. Good. Stained throughout. Heavy inner oil. Small shallow flake to right lip edge. Looks like it has had preparation for a polish, but has not had the polish done. Dull all over from where it has been lightly sanded with some tool to minmise impacts and fisheyes - this is common practice when polishing bottles, however, it is not common to leave it at this stage. There are still some fisheyes, impacts, scuffs and scratches to be found. Needs to be tumbled now and will come up quite nice.. Estimate: $60-80
