1. Good. These Hoffman made ginger beers are very hard to get and always have lip damage, as does this one. The front lip has been repainted, chips have been filled of unknown dimensions, although a line about 13 mm down from the lip could be the bottom of one chip. The rear lip only has upper and inner lip paint. Small flake at front right base edge. Spot or two of rust. Some minor scratches and marks. A decent enough example of this bottle. (6.5). 2. Good. Little impact to front upper lip has a tiny glaze flake from it. 10 x 3 mm shallow flake to upper rear lip has a small hairline from it along the upper lip. Fine glaze hairlines to the lip and neck. 11 x 6 mm chip to front left base edge. Large kiln kiss to rear body. Some crazed lines to body. Glaze has a white, powdery type of finish to it. A small stain or two and some discolouration as well. (6.8). Grade: N/A Estimate: $70 - 100
