1. Near Mint. I think? Some weepage has cause a fair bit of grime. Obviously, this has never been buried. It does not look to have any scratches or marks, but will need a careful clean. The label is discoloured, the bottom right corner is a little torn but only the very edges. As this is near full, and weeping, postage may be an issue. We can send if desired, but cannot guarantee it will make the distance without leaking, thereby damaging the label further. In this large size and style, even without the label it is quite a hard variation. (9.0). 2. Excellent. Some grime. Scuffed section to front shoulder. Small open bubble to front base heel. A few spots of hard surface stain that look like they will clean off. A few scratches here and there. Original label is very interesting, this could cure anything just about! Missing piece to top through some of the writing. Bottom left is also missing a piece. This is discoloured throughout. A great piece of Bendigo chemist history. *8.4). 3. Near Mint. The bottle itself is very common and worth little. This re-used example, however, is a beauty! This has the cork and some contents. On the label is Sem Sinapis, the best I can figure out is that this has something to do with mustard seeds! Judging by the little seeds inside, I feel that is indeed what they are. Grime throughout which will clean off. The label is discoloured with a little fading, bit is quite good. Maybe some fine scratches and minor marks. A great, original piece from country Victoria. (9.0). Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
