Non-pictorial is Very Good but dull all over. Some rust stain and a bit of grime inside. Quite a long neck on these. No major issues. The pictorial is an early two city variety (pre Sydney factory being opened in 1883). Good. Polished. Has had some pitting that remains. The top is very crudely applied with impurities and folds in it along with annealing marks. Scratches inside. Some small chips around the lip. A decent pair of bottles.
