1. Mint. Tiny amount of grime around shoulder. A few light scratches to the body. Original seal is in fine condition, the label is undamaged but has some staining. This pill bottle has never been opened, still containing a full bottle of the pilules. The chances of getting one like this again are minimal at best. (9.5). 2. Mint. Label has some stains, and one tiny nick to the upper edge of the label. Lovely example of a bottle in original condition with contents and label. (9.6). 3. Near Mint. The case is in fine condition, not sure what type of wood it is made from, but it is finely made and apart from some minor stain and some label discolouration, this is perfect. The bottle is similarly great. Some upper grime again. Label is a bit discoloured, but fine. A most unsual bottle, with pontil, this must be a very early piece from New Zealand. (9.4) Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
