1. Excellent. Great looking bottle, these are not easy to get with the CO2 embossing. A couple of scrapes at the front and a bit of minor scuffing. A few inclusions in the glass but no fractures around them. A really nice marble bottle. (8.1). 2. Good. Quite scuffed surface, looks like it has seen a lot of use with crate rub all around. The whole inner lip is chipped and nibbled although mostly pretty shallow. There is a fine 4 mm fracture diagonally at the inner front lip. Some stain inside. This is actually a reasonably scarce variation in this short type with the BB (Billson Brothers) but G. H. Billson embossing - a kind of crossover bottle. (6.9). Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
