1. Very Good. Little flake to outer upper lip. Stained with scuffs and scratches throughout. A bit of high point wear to the embossing. 2. Very Good. Pretty solid surface dirt down through the embossing, under the base and up the rear. Quite a lot of dirt internally on this same side, the bottle has obviously been partly buried or submerged. Shallow surface bubble inside neck. Some scratches can be found. It will take a bit of cleaning to remove the dirt, but once gone, this will be in extremely good condition. Lovely colour too, and quite an early bottle. 3. Good. Stained throughout, some swirled outer staining. 9 x 9 mm bruise to rear lip. Some base edge nibbles. Scuffs, scratrches and fisheyes scattered around. 4. Very Good. Has a rusty crown cap in place, it is impossible to tell what the lip is like uner that. A bit hazy internally. Lightly dull externally, there are some scuffs and scratches as well as a few fisheyes. Some nibbles to rear base edge. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 40
