1. Good. Superb looking bottle with just a bit of haze inside and the odd light scratch. But it has a super fine pair of fractures in the right shoulder, one runs 25 mm along the shoulder line itself, the other is in an arc below the shoulder and covers about 35 mm. Not even sure the lower one is through the full thickness of the glass. Bottle still displays as close to mint. 2. Very Good. Hazy. Light scuffs and scratches. Has some baby oil inside. Pinprick to the lip. Nice clean example. 3. Good. 17 x 4 mm chip along the back lip. Has baby oil inside but any haze seems minor. Just some small marks outside. Wonderful heavy embossing. Displays nicely with the chip at the back. 4. Fair. Most importantly this one has a hole in the back right corner of 9 x 4 mm. Otherwise just dull, a bit of stain inside and minor marks. Strong embossing and with the hole at the back it displays well so still a worthy example if you need this name or size! Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
