1. Very Good. A bit dull with some internal stain. The inner lip has two shallow flakes and/or bruises over 7 x 6 mm and 6 x 3 mm. Surface is scruffy with scratches, fisheyes and wear. Discoloured bubble to right neck. Nice, strong embossing, there is some high point wear and minor flakes. Would clean up very well. (7.4). 2. Very Good. Nice solid marble bottle. There is a bit of dullness around the bottle and some light internal haze. Surface has typical scuffs, fisheyes and scratches. The odd little surface mark to be seen. (7.6). 3. Fair. Unfortunately this has a 50 mm crack from the top of the left lip down to the shoulder. 8 x 4 mm chip to the inner lip on the right side. A little dull with some scratches and marks. Oiled internally. Looks good on the shelf. We say unfortunate because we can't actually remember seeing another of these Dixons/Scotts Patents with a Kilner Bros base mark before? (4.8). Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
