1. Excellent. Remains of capsule to neck. Couple of little nicks to base edge. Spot of rust to base edge. Swirl in one side from making. Just a few fine scratches. This is a great example. 2. Very Good. Remains of capsule around neck. Some patches of haze. A little surface rust in places. Tiny flake to one base corner. Impact to base edge has a very small shallow flake from it under the heel. Some scratches and the odd little scuff mark. Although relatively bland, this is a bit unusual in this style. 3. Very Good. Tiny flake to left lip edge. Some fine inner dirt that will clean out. Some scuffs and wear. A few scratches. Surface bubble or two. Extremely shallow flake to the left base edge. Tiny nick or two. 4. Very Good. Little flake to upper lip at the end of a scratch that runs along the upper lip. Swirls around the body look to be making marks. A few fine scratches. Not a bad example of this early pickle. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
