1. Very Good. Metal showing through in one part is rusty. Discoloured sections to the powder coating. Some wear and dints. Decent example of a wire bottle carrier. 2. Very Good. Wear to upper lip. Scuffed scratch to lower left. Some little impact nicks and nibbled marks around base edge. A few impacts and fisheyes to the body. Some fine scuffs and scratches. An unusual variation to the other one that is in this auction. This has a different number under the base to signify the dairy. It should be 577, but is clearly 277, a mistake was obviously made at the glass manufactory. 3. Very Good. Some discoloured scuffs and scratches on the surface. Some very light inner haze. A few tiny surface nicks. Some fine scuffs and scratches. Fisheye to rear base edge. Nice, shiny example of this scarce country Victorian milk bottle, for which there is an odd variation also in this auction. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
