1. Good. This would have had a glass stopper as the inner neck has the ground appearance of such closures. 30 mm crack to left from lip to neck, I am tipping the stopper was stuck in place and the crack occurred upon removal of the stopper. Some grime which should soak off. 16 x 3 mm sliver flake to rear base edge. Small open bubble to left base edge. Couple of dull spots. Some scratches and the odd minor scuff mark. This is quite a rare chemist bottle from Bendigo. (6.0). 2. Good. 10 mm chip to outer right rear flared lip. Etched throughout. Some stain. A bit of rust in places. A few little impacts and some scratches and minor marks. A nice, early chemist bottle. (6.0). Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 50
