N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Some light inner dirty looking haze, looks like this may soak out? Small scuffed mark to lower fron neck. Some scuffs to lower rear neck as well. Long, wide scuffed scratch which is also discoloured to the right rear, this goes up most mof the main body from near the base edge to the shoulder, about 135 mm. Some little fisheyes. Some light scratches and the odd scuff mark apart from those already mentioned. Heavy embossing, there are some spots of wear. An interesting bottle, you don't see these early Melbourne made examples around often. 2. VG. May have been coated in something to shine it up a little. Some scratches and scuff marks. The bulged shoulder design has wear and a flake or two. A little fisheye or two. Little nibbled spot or two to the embossing which is mostly really good. A nice looking cordial bottle. 3. VG. Line of wear around shoulder includes some spots of deep wear. Some little fisheyes and impact marks. Scuffs and scratches scattered around, nothing overly deep. A little nibbled wear to some of the embossing. I have a feeling this is a rare one in this size, this is the first we have sold.. Estimate: $70-120
