1. Good. Rust stain and discolouration over parts of the surface. The lip has a few glaze flakes and the like including a 3 x 3 mm one at the front. Shoulder has some wear and nibbles around it including a shallow flake that has discoloured to rear shoulder. Back left base has a deeper chipped area over 32 x 22 mm. A bit scruffy but should clean up much better. (6.3). 2. Very Good. Quite a nice example of this bottle. Some very light wear around the lip and shoulder. A couple of very shallow flakes around the underside of the base. A few light scratches and marks to the glaze. Good clear stamp. (7.9). 3. Fair. A bit chippy around the lip with some impacts and little fractures. A couple of little chips around the shoulder and a larger 16 x 19 mm chip at the back left. Under the base are several big chips and a couple of smaller ones, luckily most of the chipping is to the back. Very crudely made bottle as well. Scarce bottle. (5.9). 4. Good. The whole bottle has weird hairlines through it that have leached out in white lines. Front lip has a 4 x 3 mm flake. There are some other marks around the shoulder and body but generally they look like kiln kisses. Probably needs a good soaking clean. Harder to get impressed ginger beer. (6.7) Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
