1. Excellent. Has a dark blue corked stopper which may or may not be original? It is a different colour, but still could be original? Some fine inner lip splits from making. A little bit of very fine haze internally. The label has a yellow crud around it which is remnants of glue. Not sure how long ago the label was applied, it may be original but I have a feeling it is a more recent application? The label is quite aged with a leathery look. (8.0). 2. Very Good. Has an aqua glass stopper with some grime. The bottle has some grime too. 4 x 3 mm nibbled flake to outer lip. Some light inner shoulder haze. Shallow open bubble or two to body. Couple of little impact type marks to base edge. A nice looking bottle. (7.6). 3. Very Good. Stopper is stuck in place. Plenty of grime scattered around. Some oddmarks around the outer lip and neck are actually very shallow flakes. Contents staining inside. Couple of tiny impact flakes under the heel. A few scratches. The labels have some missing parts and stains. Interesting item. (7.3). Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
