Van Den Bergh is Good. Side of the top and one edge of the bottle is heavily worn - must have been exposed for a long time in a sandy place! A swirl of bubbles in a curve to one side that looks like a crack on first glance. Nice old bottle. The other gin is Excellent. Nice shiny example. Still a bit dirty. General scuffs and scratches.
