1. Excellent. Tiny glaze nick to lip and some very fine wear. Another glaze nick to shoulder edge and again some very fine wear in places. Small flake under base. A few spots of wear and some nicks to base edge. Considerably better than average, these early Melbourne bottles are nearly always chipped to lip and base regions. One of several stamp variations that are available, this is the E J Prevot & Co with the arrow symbol above the O. (8.0). 2. Very Good. Lip wear to upper and lower lip which is through the glaze. Shoulder wear is also through the glaze, as is the base edge wear. Two chips to right base edge, one is glazed over. Horseshoe hairline from this glazed one under the base. Another flake or two under the base. Scratch to front down from the shoulder. Different to each other as one has a comma after the J. (7.0). Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
