1. Excellent. Shallow 4 x 4 mm chip on the lip to the Hempsted side. Some scratches around and minor marks. Much better than average example of this early aerated water patent. (8.4). 2. Very Good. Light stain inside. Only minor marks outside. Well embossed. Will clean up very well. Nice bottle. (7.9). 3. Very Good. Dull. A bit dirty and stained inside. Little flake on the lip. A couple of indents on the lip that I thought may have been smoothed down chips but I think are just marks from making as the whole lip is quite crude (plus you'd clean up the other flake if you started work around the top!). Light scratches and marks to the body. Great embossing. (7.9). Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
