1. Good. Seems to be the first true applied top version we have sold. Couple of little making splits to upper lip. The inner thread is nibbled over about 10 mm, this may be a nibbled open bubble? Some light inner haziness. Angled 13 mm fracture/bruise to the rear lower body. Scattered scratches and minor scuffs. A few minor marks to the embossing. One or two fisheyes. Relatively shiny, this one looks nice. 2. Fair. Looks great, but has issues. A crack runs under the front blob over the front half of the circumference. Up from this are two vertical cracks to the front and the right. Some fine inner haze in patches. A few little nicks around the base edge. Some scuffs and scratches, the bottle is generally quite shiny though. Some minor crate wear to the embossing. Very light colour, almost clear. 3. Good. Much deeper aqua colour than the previous example, although still only a standard colour. Stained throughout. Impact type bruise to upper right lip. Another smaller one to upper front lip. The stain is a little etched in places. Scratches scattered around including a few pitted examples. Some impact marks and fisheyes. A bit of crate wear to some of the embossing. Couple of little nicks to base heel. 4. Very Good. This is the tooled top version of number one, and is a very heavy bottle! Has been oiled. Has swirled stain internally, this appears to be from making with some of this going into the glass! Inclusions of sorts scattered around, one on right shoulder has a small fracture associated, another near right base. Crude outer neck crazing from making. A few fisheyes. Spots of grime. Quite a crude bottle. You will not see four variations of these O.K internal threads for sale in one place too often. Grade: N/A Estimate: $75 - 100
