1. Fair. Looks OK, but has a large sliver flake to rear base heel, this has taken out the S. A. of U. S. A. Tiny nick to front base edge. 5 x 2 mm flake to front right lip edge. Stained throughout which is etched in places. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Quite a hard one to get. Alfred Richmond was in Seymour in 1898 and 1899, he must have moved to Hawksburn after that time as this bottle is later than that. 2. Very Good. Some very light inner haze in places. 8 x 4 mm crescent moon shaped bruise under the base. A few minor scratches. 3. Good. Heavily stained throughout. Dip in lip is from making. Some scratches and minor marks. Removing the heavy inner stain will help a lot, this doesn't have any damage or deep marks. 4. Excellent. Dirty internally, looks like this will mostly clean out. Tiniest of nicks to right side. A few fine scratches and minor marks. Should clean nicely, a nice looking bottle with the script writing. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
