1. Excellent. Some grime and minor marks. A few scratches. Not much wrong with this, but then it is not very old either. 2. Very Good. Bottle is old. Label is an early label, not as old and not original to this bottle. I have seen several of these over the years that have been applied to different bottles in more recent times. A few small nicks to bottle. Some dirt. Some scratches. 3. Very Good. Polished. Still a bit dull. Some surface bubbles. Some scuffs and scratches remaining. Interesting that this Melbourne Glass Bottle Works bottle has an A base mark! 4. Good. 10 x 5 mm angled fracture / bruise type mark to base edge at rear. Small discoloured bruise to mid rear. Some lengthy inner scratches. Some impact marks. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 40
