The pictorial example is Good. A bit rough around the lip with nibbles and fleabites. A large bubble on the Co Ltd embossing has burst over about 10 x 5 mm with a chipped effect around the edge. A couple of deep scratches and a little bit of pitting. Solid enough. The non-pictorial is Very Good. Although it has a rough effect from some glass etching around the top, back and left side. Nice strong embossing and quite an early looking example. (Variations of Bottles 31 & 32, Page 738, Thirsty Work, Jones). Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
