1. Very Good. The green wine bottle. I think there is a tiny flake to the upper lip, although there is roughness and tiny bubbles from making, this may be one of those? Tiny flake to the collar. Some inner stain, looks like water type stain that will soak out? Tiny sliver under base edge. Some fine scuffs and scratches. One or two deeper scuffs which are small. Couple of minor impact marks. Great embossing, this is the Southwark version. 2. Very Good. An aqua brandy bottle. Oiled. Tiny flake to upper lip, there is a little flake to the upper lip ring as well and a couple of other tiny nicks. Some stain internally. Wear to heel with one or two tiny flakes. Deep short scratch near front base edge. Tiny nick or two to body. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. 2. Very Good. An aqua wine bottle. Some stain to the inner rear. Splits to the upper lip from making. Some minor scuffs around the shoulder region. Some spots of grime and minor marks. Minor scratches and marks. A decent example. A good group of Pickaxe bottles, we also have a couple of groups of beers in this auction. Grade: N/A Estimate: $75 - 100
