N/A. (N/A). 1. Fair. G. Stevens was at 159 King Street, Newtown in the early 1900s. He then moved to West Maitland in the 1910s region at some stage, must've taken his bottles with him for this one was found in the Newcastle region. Odd 17 x 5 mm chip to upper left lip. This joins up with a 17 x 6 mm flat chip to upper rear lip. Some inner dirty haze. 10 x 5 mm bruise to front right base edge. Small flake to heel to right of this. Shallow bruise to front left base edge corner. Another to left rear base edge corner, there is a tiny flake here, but the glass is that thin here that there is a tiny hole, literally a pin prick! Nibbled scrape to right rear base edge corner as well. Some scratches and minor scuffs. We haven't sold one of these before. 2. VG. Some inner haze. Little flake to left front edge mid way down. Nibbled impact to front eft base edge corner. Another to right rear base edge corner. Fisheye or two and an impact or two. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Translated to Husk Injection, this was a French product that was advertised by Harris & Sproull heavily as their Australian agents - with this being found in Newcastle it would be linked to this Newcastle pharmacy, but is not an Australian bottle. 3. VG. 7 x 7 mm chip to outer rear lip. Dirty stain internally, this should partly clean up, but may still be a little hazy afterwards. A little surface rust in places. Short scuffed scratch to mid body on a plain panel. Some scuffs and scratches elsewhere, but nothing major at all. Nice looking veterinary bottle. 4. VG. Hazy in places. Some rust. Some inner grime which will soak out. A few tiny fisheyes and impact marks. Some fine scratrches and the odd little scuff mark. One or two tiny spots of wear. Tiny lip nick or two. Not many bottles feature a Victoria Cross as a trade mark. 5. VG. Stained. One or two spots of rust. Some little fisheyes and impact marks. Scuffed scratch across embossing on one side. Some other scratches and minor scuffs. 6. Looks better, but has a 10 x 12 mm bruised section to the lip. Some inner dirt and stain looks like it will mostly soak out. NIbbled impact to shoulder. Some scuffs and scratches. 7. VG. Stained. 5 x 3 mm bruise to front left base edge. A few deep and scuffed scratches. A few other scuffs and scratches. Oddly applied lip actually looks quite early, mimght even predate my suggestion of 1890s.. Estimate: $40-80
