1. Good. Would be better but has a 7 x 5 x 1 mm chip to the very front of the lip. Rest of the bottle is a bit hazy internally and has some scratches and scuffs to the outside. The internal neck has some surface mould marks from manufacture, a couple have very fine and shallow hairlines associated with them, these are only a small way into the glass. Nice strong, detailed embossing with minor wear and marks to the surface, the E has a small flake. Some rust spots can be found. The rear side has a manufacturing flake where glass has pulled out over about 10 x 2 mm, this is shallow, with an associated scratch type mark extending a bit further. Good looking early crown seal. (6.8). 2. Very Good. The surface of this bottle is all a bit scuffed and scratched. A very shallow 4 x 2 mm flake under the crown of the back lip. Embossing is evenly worn all over. Two 5 x 3 mm chips to the ring around the neck. Nice pictorial, a solid bottle. (7.2). 3. Very Good. 8 x 5 mm bruise on the inner back lip. Slightly cloudy inside and outside has some light scratches and marks. A bit of light stain outside as well. Some wear to the strong embossing. Slightly unusual early version of this bottle. (7.1). Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 40
