This has a sliver chip from the lip. A little haze in places, but overall a nice example. Second from the right is a W. Thomas & Co Ink. This has lip flakes and nibbles and some stain. The right one is another Thomas, a little darker in colour. Quite a nice example with minor marks. Group 2: From left to right: Aqua long neck example. Some haze, inner lip flakes. Small open bubble to shoulder. Next is a shorter neck example with larger body. The usual lip nibbles and some haze. Little flake near base. The third one is a lovely deep amber example.

Some stain or light wear around the base edge. Some inner stain. A few knocks and minor marks. Great bottle. Group 3: From left to right: Green ink which looks to have coloured swirls, but this is remnants of ink internally. Some chips to the lip. Some scratches and minor wear to the base. Has the number 8 on the shoulder. The next one is an amazing piece of glass. Green in colour, this is jam packed full of airbubbles. Sliver xhip from lip to shoulder on one side. One or two open bubbles. Simply wonderful bottle. The middle one is an odd shape, the body is quite narrow with the upper part being longer than normal. A stndard aqua colour. A few lip nibbles. Some fine haze. One or two tiny nicks. Second from the right is a standard aqua colour, has a bar across the base. The number 9 on the shoulder. Some nibbles to the lip. Shallow flake under base. Right hand example is a later clear glass one. Has AGM under the base. Has a little haze and some scratches. Group 4: The left hand one is OK, but has a fracture curving about 30 mm around the neck. Lots of lovely little bubbles. The middle one has had the top ground down in more recent times, there is still a chip down from this. A little haze and grime. The right hand one has one or two dull spots but is really good condition wise. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
