N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Surface chips to the side of the skirt. Rust stain and wear marks around the middle. Some small chips to the bottom of the inner skirt. 2. EXC. Firstly the number looks like 38 to me and just the bottom left half of the 8 hasn't printed strongly but it had a note listing it as a 39 in Ern's collection. A handful of surface glaze flakes around. Some wear and manufacturing marks. Nice one. 3. EXC. Mostly just manufacturing marks to see. Couple of chips to the bottom of the thread to the inside. A scuff or two. 4. EXC. Some making marks. Bit of wear. Dirty inside. 5. EXC. Print is smudged but does look like a 33 as Ern has recorded. Flake chip to the outer edge of the ring. Scrape to the groove. Small marks around. 6. EXC. Some crude making marks. Looks an early one. Scrapes and scratches around. 7. EXC. Indents to the side and bottom from making. Nice glaze. Distinct ridge at the bottom of the groove. 8. VG. Chip to the inner skirt and then a curved fracture over the bottom of the skirt itself. Some wear marks around. Also some manufacturing marks. 9. VG. Heavy rust stain around the middle and dripping down one side. Firing cracks inside from making. A few other manufacturing marks around. Some wear. 10. VG. Chip to the outer ring. Scuffs and scratches. Some black stain inside. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Estimate: $20-40
