N/A. (N/A). 1. Good. Most of the inner lip is nibbled with small chips. The top of the lip is interesting as you can see the original core of the top where the bottle was blown and then the finish hasn't quite made it to the top of the lip so there is a groove between that original core and the wider finish of the spun top. A bit dull and stained. 18 x 6 mm area to the front left amongst the embossing with a deep scratch / burst bubbles / bruises and rust stain in the surface of the glass. A solid bottle that needs a bit of cleaning up. 2. Good. Chipped to the front right inner and top lip over roughly 15 x 5 mm. "Corking" bruise of 10 x 4 mm to the inner front left lip. Dull, scuffs, scratches and wear all over. Reasonable embossing but with wear to all the high parts. Some pitting and the like around. 3. EXC. Although the cap is stuck in place so we have to assume the lip is ok. Bottle is a bit dull and grimy all over. Some scuffs and wear. Interesting little Melbourne crown seal. Estimate: $50-100
