Fair to Excellent. Bell Patent is really nice. Does have a burst bubble to side upper body and some fine wear and scratches, with a few dull spots and small impact marks. The other four are all stained. Smith is dull all over with some scuffs and scratches, a couple of surface flakes. This is embossed very weakly as these always are - quite a rare bottle. Wright & Pannifex has some wear and tear and little flakes around the top, a few small ones around the base as well. Pretty solid. Both the Dicksons are damaged. The Kilner one has a large chip to the full length of the back top and the other one has a moderately large chip to the back top as well as a smaller chip to the lip. Both are stained and pitted. Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
