1. Good. This would be an absolute stunner but there are three unusual fractures in the lip on the trade marks side. They are just in the first couple of mm of the glass and run from the top of the lip to the join area with the neck of the bottle. Rest of the bottle is beautiful with loads of seed bubbles and strong embossing. Tiny flake under base. Some minor scuffs and scratches. Nice colour too. Still a good shelf example. (6.0) 2. Fair. The back right top has a 14 mm long fracture. Surface of the bottle has had some sort of buffing done leaving kind of flat but well defined embossing. A lot of pitting, fisheyes and scratches to the whole surface of the bottle. Small chip to right side of chamber. An OK shelf example. (5.0). 3. Good. Back right lip has a bruise and mark over about 15 x 8 mm. Surface is quite scuffy and pitted and may have even had a light tumble to remove a little haze. Plenty of fisheyes scattered around. Displays OK and is a superbly crude bottle with great colour. Should be noted the AGM base mark refers to an earlier Australian Glass Manufacturing Co that operated in Sydney. (6.2). Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
