The Syphon is Very Good. Dull in patches and has some scuffs and scratches. A little bruise inside the lip. Tiny pitting and fisheyes over the surface. Strong and detailed embossing for one of these. (6 oz version of Bottle 17, Page 889, Thirsty Work, Jones). Reliance Patent is Good but has a larger 12 x 11 mm chip to the writing only side. Dull all over and a bit scruffy. A few other marks around. Solid enough but could use a bit of a clean up. (Bottle 34, Page 707, Thirsty Work, Jones). Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
