1. Very Good. Polished, possibly lacquered. Small flake to upper lip. Burst bubble near base point, another one or two surface bubbles. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. Small discoloured surface bruise amongst an impact mark to the lower part of the trade mark. Scratches to inner base point. A few fisheyes. 2. Good. This has been lacquered. Impact type mark to bottom of B in Goulburn. The bottom of B has subsequently been ground down to disguise, the lower part of the LBU in this region all exhibits some sign of this impact in the form of surface fractures. Having said that, it was not immediately obvious to me, so not a huge distraction. Some scratches, impacts and fine fisheyes. Crisp embossing, apart from previously mentioned damage it has a few little flakes and high point wear, but pretty nice in general. Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
