Dixon has a large chip and associated fracture to the top and also a chipped area to the point of the base. Embossing is a bit weak as well. Both bottles are dull all over with scratches and scuffs. Both are pretty early types. The Rowlands is a reasonably solid bottle with no major faults. If you want some nice old looking bottles for decoration these are perfect! Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
