1. Good. Has been coated in lacquer at some stage, the coating has since shrunk and split giving it a crackled effect to the surface. Obviously stained underneath. Scuffs, scratches, fisheyes and little impact marks scattered around. Quite a scarce one in the Ross Brothers version. 2. Very Good. Lacquered. Some inner haze. Some scratches. Embossing looks to be in decent condition with only one or two little nicks to be found. Looks to be a decent example. 3. Very Good. Stained. Deep smallish inner lip chip to the rear. Small flake to base heel. Small rusty impact mark to top of trade mark. Scuffs and scratches throughout, plenty of little impact marks, a few pitted scratches and some wear to the high points of the embossing. Distinctly different to the previous example in this lot. Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
