N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. 5 x 4 mm flake to front right heel. Scuffs and scratches throughout with some fisheyes and impact marks. Some crate wear across the embossing. 2. Fair. Matted type wear throughout. 7 x 6 mm bruise to upper right lip. 40 mm crack along the rear base edge. The odd impact mark and fisheyes. Some scuffs and scratches. This is the first early type we have sold from this dairy. 3. EXC. Some fine dust and grime which will soak out. This one has an embossed neck ring. Couple of little nicks around the lip and another one or two to the neck ring. Little nibbled spot or two to heel. Some tiny fisheyes and impact marks. Some light scratches and minor marks. This is a "Super Milk" - yes, it says so itself! We have never sold one of these before. 4. VG. Some little nibbles and flakes around the upper lip. Shallow 5 x 4 mm flake to front right base edge heel. Another to front left heel and a smaller mark near this along with some other heel nicks. Light scuffs and scratches around the shoulder and base edge mainly, but some others elsewhere. A bit of crate wear across the embossing in places, quite nibbled in areas. 5. VG. A bit of fine wear and some little nicks around the outer lip. Some fisheyes and wear around the base edge. Scuffs and scratches scattered around, heaviest around the shoulder region although nothing deep. Strong embossing has some nibbled flakes and wear in places. A decent example, this is different to others we have sold which normally have S E 5 after the phone number. 6. VG. Dust and grime that looks like it will mostly soak out. A few little fisheyes and impact marks. Some fine scratches. Estimate: $50-100
