1. Good. Lacquered. Tiny nick to upper lip. Fisheyes, scuffs and scratches scattered around. One or two tiny open bubbles. Looks a bit different in this Kilner Bros bottle made at their Thornhill Less factory. The embossing seems larger? 2. Fair. Lacquered. May have been polished prior? Little nick to outer front lip, nibbled flake to inner left lip. Stained throughout, the lacquer has not necessarily improved this, in fact it looks to have an orange peel effect in places. Scuffs and scratches to be found. Little impact marks and fisheyes scattered around. Embossing is flat, I think this is the way it was made. May clean up better once the lacquer is removed? Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
