1. Poor. There is either a horseshoe crack across the width of the top and down 20 mm, or a piece that has broken off and been reglued? Annealing marks within neck. Inner haze. Some minor scuffs, scratches and the odd dull spot externally. 2. Very Good. Some inner neck striations from making. Quite heavy stain throughout. Plenty of scratching to be found, but nothing too deep. Nice, early castor oil. 3. Excellent. Tiny lip nick. Some inner lip dirt below a fold in the glass initially looks like a fracture, but is seemingly simply dirt. Some light inner neck haze, a small patch of inner haze further down on the body. Some light scuffs and scratches, mainly down the left side. Usually heavily stained, this one is one of the best conditioned examples that we have seen. 4. Very Good. Scrape mark to outer lip. Stained throughout. Some scuffs and scratches scattered throughout. Interestingly, this is a Melbourne made bottle. Grade: 3 Estimate: $60 - 80
