1. Very Good. There are a couple of burst bubbles on the back (9 x 4 mm and 11 x 3 mm). A bit scuffed and scratched over the surface. Heavy embossing has wear to most of its surface. Impact mark to front shoulder. A few other fisheye type marks to be found. Some stain, mainly towards the bottom of the bottle. Nice enough example and a good clean would do it wonders. 2. Excellent. Just a Marchants but with beautiful heavy embossing, nice colour and lovely shiny condition. Needs a better clean as there is some grime amongst the embossing and near the base. Some scuffs and scratches here and there. Has a dirty burst bubble on the inner neck thread to the rear. Great example with the original stopper and quite an early variation. 3. Very Good. Nice heavy bottle in a good colour. Burst bubble to the front right shoulder, the burst part is 11 x 6 mm. Shallow 9 x 5 mm chip to the inner right lip and a 10 x 3 mm bruise to the inner left lip. Embossing is extremely strong with wear and little flakes to part of the surface. A bit of haze and dirt internally. Quite a crude bottle as well. 4. Very Good. One of the best of these you would hope to see. Embossing is much stronger than normal. Surface is a little bit scratched and scuffed. Maybe just some light haze inside and a little bit of wear on the trade mark. Just a couple of fisheyes to be found, and a small burst bubble to the rear. 5. Very Good. Has bruises on the top of the lip on both sides (14 x 5 mm and 13 x 4 mm). Some scuffs and scratches to the rest of the bottle. Generally nice and clean, presents quite well and crudely made. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
