Possibly has a slight pink tinge to it. The first 1 ounce size we have sold. 2. VG. Stained. Oiled internally. Left outer rear lip is slightly out of shape, possibly very minor heat damage. Little nibbled spot to lower front right. 3 x 2 mm shallow bruise to lower front left base edge. Little flake to left base edge. Some scratches and little scuff marks. Most interestingly, this is an error bottle with Adelaide incorrectly spelt Adedaide! We have never sold one of these before. 3. VG. Stained with some etching as well. A few little fisheyes and impact marks. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. This is the first large American made clear example that we have sold. 4. VG. Inner lip dips and folds are from making. Hazy throughout. Tiny nick to outer lip. Tiny nick to front heel. Odd 15 mm dinted line under right rear heel, this may be heat damage? Tiny dint to lower left rear looks like heat damage, this is very minor. A few little nicks. Some scuffs and scratches scattered around. Not one I have seen before, needless to say, we haven't sold one. 5. Good. Milky inner haze. 10 mm angled crack to mid rear. 5 mm crack to lower right rear, this has a small bruise over the top of it. A few scratches and minor marks. Saxony was just up the road from Adelaide! Just kidding of course, Saxony is in Germany. We have not sold one of these before. 6. Good. Stained throughout. 20 x 4 mm chip along the upper left and rear lip. Little nibbled surface flake to front right shoulder corner. Little impact flake to front base edge. Inclusion to lower front has a 7 mm partial fracture through it, this is on the inside and does not come through to the outer surface. Some scuffs and scratches. This is the first 4 ounce variety that we have sold from this Port Pirie Chemist. 7. VG. Polished. Remains of an odd, really, really fine pitted effect to the surface. A bit of light haze. A few scratches and minor marks. Surface bubble to inner right shoulder. Nice example, we have not sold this variety before. 8. EXC. Little surface flake to outer lip. Couple of light scuffed patches to shoulder. A few scratches and minor marks. Interesting bottle, these come in a few variations, this is the first of this variation that we have sold. Estimate: $100-200
