1. Good. Could use a bit more of a wash. Has a small fractured area under the back left base (10 x 4 mm). Dull throughout. Has a heavy scratch and a couple of tiny fisheyes to the right hand side. Scarce bottle, displays quite well. 2. Fair. Just makes it as it looks OK from the front. Has a large chip to the back base and a chip to the right side lip. Needs a wash internally as still has some dirt and the like. Outside is quite shiny with just some minor scratches. Scarce bottle from a St Kilda pharmacy, will display OK with a clean. 3. Fair. Needs a good wash. Would almost grade better but the two chips to the lip are a bit too big. At least they are towards the back so OK as a shelf example. Front left base edge has a bit of roughness by touch, and there is a small fracture very well hidden at this location. Glass seems pretty shiny with just some light scratches. 4. Very Good. Needs a better wash. Nice example. Very lightly dull. Some spots of rust and minor scuffs and scratches. 5. Very Good. Has a shallow flake chip to the upper front lip. Needs a thorough wash, has some dirt and rust still attached in places. Generally pretty shiny with very little haze to be seen. Strong embossing. 6. Good. Shallow chips to the back left lip and under the left side base. A bit of dirt in the inner shoulder and there is just a hint of light haze throughout. Open bubble from manufacturing on the face and excellent, strong embossing. Grade: N/A Estimate: $20 - 30
