N/A. (N/A). Interesting group. The Kruses are both later ones, clear one is a plain bottle, amber is embossed. The Bacchus Marsh label is still readable but a fair bit of damage. Rushbrooke is fairly late. The White Crow cap is interesting but is a bit worn and hard to read.Thistle: Bottle looks EXC but is dirty and grimy. Label has a tear on the name of the street and some marks around the edges. Mostly pretty good though. Castor Oils: Dirty and grimy. Some scuffs and marks. Label is very stained and faded. Rosella: Bottle looks EXC, just dusty and grimy. Labels are nice too with some small tears and marks. Reeve: Lip of the bottle has an 8 x 8 mm chip. Stopper is stuck. Dirty and grimy. Labels are good but with some stain and lower one is hard to read. Stains: Both have stain, tears and marks to the labels. Contents stain in the bottles but no liquid remains. Dust and grime. Interesting pair. Pickle: Unfortunately has a lot of damage to the label. Also stained. Bottle looks fine other than the dirt and grime. Interesting brand. Beers: Both are dusty and dirty. Some marks, wear and stains. Good looking little bottles. Coffees: Brookes is a beauty. Label in great shape with minor marks. Dirty and grimy. Lifebuoy is a good label with some damage and tears. Bottle has a large slice chip to one base corner and big chip and crack to the top. Lipton is a dug bottle that has been left dirty because large parts of the label are there but really hard to read much of it. Chinese: Still sealed and full. Dirty and grimy and needs a good clean. Some very good and interesting items amongst these. (late Ern Taylor Collection) Estimate: $50-100
