1. Poor. Repaired. Polished. Tiny dip to lip appears to be from making. Annealing marks to inner lip. The lip has been glued on, a great job which I nearly missed, but having just checked it under UV light, sure enough, the join glows! Embossing is flat and rounded. Some remains of fisheyes and impact marks. Some etching remains internally. An early bottle, you do not see these Tonic Waters around often. (0.0). 2. Very Good. Polished. Remains of a small flake to the outer lip. Annealing marks to inner lip. Scratches to inner neck. Slight inner dullness remains, almost likes like a film of dust? Remains of small body flake to lower rear body. Some scuffs and scratches remaining which are quite fine and the odd little pitted mark also to be found. Nice early bottle. (7.4). Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
