N/A. (0). 1. O'Sullivan Purcell has had a new top added and a big chunk of neck rebuilt. Some fine hairlines coming from the damaged area. Stain. 2. The Barrett Bros has been in three pieces and fairly roughly glued back together. Both could be cleaned and finished off a lot better. 3. & 4. The tan top one could be pretty good. It has about half of the top filled but all at the back. A few other nibbles and flakes around the top and maybe a short 8 or 9 mm hairline down the front lip. Print and body of the bottle are very nice. Blue top has been in three pieces and glued back together. It could also be done much more neatly. Chip to the front lip. A few other light marks around. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Estimate: $40-60
