1. Very Good. Some inner grime that should soak out. Fisheye to right rear base edge. Spot of wear to front base edge. Some nibbles to some of the letters. Some fine scratches and the odd minor scuff mark. (7.6). 2. Very Good. Some dust and grime, this will clean off. A nibbled mark to inner rear lip. Deep scratch to front left near base. Some impact marks and scratches scattered around. Nice embossing has relatively minor marks. Some dull spots and a bit of haze. (7.5). 3. Very Good. A bit scuffed to the surface. Some haze inside. Some small pitting and fisheyes around the raised base edge. A pretty solid example. (7.4). 4. Very Good. Some scuffs and scratches. Light haze inside. At the back base edge is a very small chip and from this are two or three fine fractures just in the surface of the glass. These also look like they are actually part of a manufacturing imperfection in this same spot. A good looking example and not the easiest Rowlands bottle to get. (7.6). Grade: N/A Estimate: $70 - 100
