1. Very Good. This one looks quite good but does have scratches, scuffs and fisheyes over most of the surface. The inner and top lip has a run of several little flakes, chips and marks. There is a similar run of marks around the base, none that are major but easily noticeable in total. The embossing, especially the trade mark is beautifully detailed with some wear here and there although more so to the writing side. Not a bad example of this hard to get pictorial Melbourne Lamont. (7.4). 2. Very Good. Quite a reasonable, clean example. Scratches and scuffs to the surface. Some dullness in spots both inside and out. A few small scattered fisheyes and marks. Solid bottle. (7.5). Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
