N/A. (N/A). 1. Fair. Very large 32 x 12 mm chip at the base edge below the waves under the whale. Actually looks like this was a large bubble but the whole surface layer of glass has been knocked off. Rest of the bottle is consistently scuffy and worn. 13 x 5 mm bubble behind the first P of Property has had its surface crushed and let dirt or sand in the whole bubble. Embossing is good. Still a decent looking bottle. 2. Good. Polished. This bottle has been very heavily pitted and the main thing to note is that you can still see the evidence of that all over. Some small burst bubbles to the lower back right have now been rounded over. Surface is grimy. Embossing is nice and strong. Estimate: $25-50
