1. Fair. Some South Australian companies were known for chipping their initials into maughams. This has a distinct L on the rear body, and possibly an O around the base. Annealing marks to inner lip. Polished. This has pitted impacts, fisheyes, wear, scuffs and scratches throughout. Basically, it is pretty rough! Nice and early though and interesting with the chipped in letters. (5.0). 2. Fair. 15 x 6 mm milky bruise to inner lip. A few nibbles around the lip. Part burst bubble is discoloured to the base. The point has a small impact type flake over a bubble. Heavily etched and stained throughout. Pitted marks and scratches. Embossing is flat in places, a bit hard to read. A rare piece, this is purely a gap filler as it will not polish well. (4.6). Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
