N/A. (N/A). 1. Fair. Very scruffy with lots of pitting. The whole lip is rough and nibbled. If that was the extent of it the bottle wouldn't be too bad but there is a nasty impact with fractures all around it on the first E of Melbourne. This mark has a halo bruise around it that reaches roughly 35 x 35 mm covering the MEL of Melbourne. Hard to get variety. The front could be cleaned up a bit. 2. Good. Rough. 9 x 7 mm bruise and 5 x 3 mm fracture to the upper front right near the K of Mark. Dull throughout. Lots of scratches and scuffs. Two more small surface bruises of about 3-4 mm down the back right of the body. 3. Fair. Interesting variety with no makers marks and a big deep wedge shaped cross pinch, more like a Rowlands Patent but obviously with the regular Codd type teardrop. Dull and rough with lots of scratches and pitting. Chips to the lip of 4 x 3 and 7 x 4 mm. This second chip also has a 13 mm vertical fracture associated with it from the top of the lip to the bottom of the rubber ring groove. Estimate: $50-100
