1. Very Good. Stained with a few minor scratches. Great, crisp embossing. Has 1006 under the base. 2. Very Good. Making fold to inner lip. Stained throughout. One or two little impacts. Some scratches. Great embossing, Has 1004 under the base. 3. Very Good. Stained throughout. Nibbles to front base edge seem to be from making. Some scratches and fine scuffs. Great embossing again. Has 1003 under the base. 4. Very Good. The only one with no mortar and pestle. Small open bubble to shoulder. Rust to rear base corner with a little associated flake. Some scuffs and scratches and the odd little impact mark here and there. This has 1002 under the base. I have noted the base marks as it leads me to pose the question - is there a smaller version with a 1001 base mark, and is there a version with 1005 which is missing from this grouping? I would suggest there likely are at least two more sizes for this reason, regardless, this is a great range of sizes of nice looking bottles. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
