Elliott is Good. Chipped around the top. Has some lacquer on it. Stained and dull. Some pitting and marks. Fletcher is Good. Dull. Embossing is very weak, looking almost ghosted in large parts. Scuffy surface. Rowlands: The paler one is Excellent. A patch of haze inside. Some very fine scratches and scuffs. This is also unusual as the embossing is very strong! The darker one is Very Good bordering on Excellent. Some dullness and fine scratches and scuffs. Embossing is pretty good although not as strong as the first one. Really nice pair of bottles. Stands: Used. Mostly for 10 oz bottles and a couple of shorter ones for 6 oz. Having a few of them in my own collection, I can attest that these work beautifully. Easily adjusted to suit bottles with a minor difference. Grade: N/A Estimate: $150 - 200
