N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. The back lip has shallow chips of 12 x 5 and 3 x 2 mm. The front lip has a shallow chip also of about 12 x 5 mm and with it are some associated hairlines on the inner and top lip. Small glaze miss to the lower front top. Nice shiny glaze overall. Some surface stain and light marks. Stamp has partly missed near the bottom. Pretty good example. 2. Good. Would be a beauty if not for the dark hairline down the front left shoulder (70 mm). Little bit of stain around. Kiln kiss on the back top. Line of stain or similar down the back. Good looking bottle but needs the hairline cleaned or disguised. 3. EXC. Has a 6 x 5 mm lip chip but at the back. Some light discolouration and marks otherwise. Really nice glaze. Good looking bottle. 4. VG. Some scuffiness and stain around the body. A few scratches. Fleabite or two on the lip. Very good print. Will clean up a lot better. Later variety with Real Ginger Beer in the stamp. 5. Repaired. Top has been very neatly replaced. Curved hairline or replaced chip on the front neck. Body of the bottle is really good with only light marks. Repair is a pretty good one too. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Estimate: $150-250
