1. Excellent. Some dirt on the inner shoulder. Outside of the bottle has some scratches, scuffs and small dull spots. A nice looking black glass bottle. (8.5). 2. Good. Back shoulder has a difficult to see 20 mm long fracture. A bit dull all over. Light internal stain. Scratches, scuffs and little pit marks. Nice looking Powell & Ricketts bottle. (6.6). 3. Excellent. Nice looking bottle in a great colour. Typical scratches and scuffs over the surface. Here and there are a couple of little surface impact marks. Nice, crudely formed lip. Lovely example of this particular schnapps. (8.3). 4. Excellent. Crudely made with lots of manufacturing marks and wobbles on the base. Inside has some dirt and haze and could use a better wash. Outside is some dullness and the usual scratches and scuffs. Some of the capsule still exists around the top. Nice example of this later schnapps bottle. (8.0). 5. Good. 24 x 11 mm chip and bruise to the shoulder above Schiedam plus a surface 10 mm fracture off the edge of this. A few scratches on the surface. Inside there is some sticky residue and a bit of dullness. Shame about the damage but a reasonably scarce Melbourne made example of this schnapps. (6.0). 6. Very Good. Dull and lightly stained all over. Some solid scratches and scuffs on the right shoulder. A few other scratches and marks elsewhere. Solid bottle that needs a tumble or similar to really shine. (7.2). Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
