1: Fair. Heavily worn all over with extensive pitting. Has a chip to the mid side on the seam line that is 15 x 10 mm and a fracture on one side of this that is 20 mm long. Has two chips to the lip, 23 x 4 mm and 10 x 3 mm as well as some small pinprick and pitting type marks. Huge heavy embossing that has the same rolled and worn effect as the rest of the bottle. Some bubbles at the surface. Quite a nice decorative piece as it really looks like an old bottle! 2: Good. Quite heavily scuffed and scratched over the surface with a lot of small fisheye/impact type marks. Lip is worn and marked with a noticeable 3 x 3 mm flake to the side. A deep burst bubble to the left side near the seam line that is 11 x 5 mm. Good strong embossing but worn to the surface. 3: Very Good. Top is a little bit worn with a scratch and flake to the back right that covers an area 8 x 3 mm. Inner front lip has a chip and bruise that in total is about 10 x 4 mm. Some flakes under the apllied top which are very shallow. A small fisheye type bruise to the right seam, with another to the rear shoulder. Some other fine fisheyes around the base. Couple of tiny nicks under the base. Rest of the bottle has some typical scuffs and scratches and minor spots of haze but presents pretty well. Nice colour in this Hinrichsen made variety. 4: Fair. Heavily worn all over with scattered pit marks and small impact marks. Lip has some minor rough spots. 24 mm scratch to rear shoulder. Some other scratches and marks. Looks great as a decorative item as an example of something that really looks like an old bottle to a non-collector. 5: Fair. Bottle is heavily worn, scuffed and scratched over the whole bottle. The type of wear makes it appear that this bottle was used hundreds of times. There is an impact and 30 mm long crack in the front neck. 11 x 4 mm bruise on the top of the back right lip. Embossing is heavy but also heavily worn. Another bottle that really only has value because it actually looks like an old bottle to a non-collector. Grade: N/A Estimate: $20 - 30
