First one is Very Good. Actually should clean up better. Not much wear and just a bit dirty and hazy inside. The clear later pint is Very Good. More scratches and scuffs. Bit of stain. The lime green one is Good. Has a bruise on the lip and to the right of the N of Malvern. Quite heavy wear all over. Some pitting and bits of rust stain. Very interesting group of variations.
