1. Good. Seems a bit taller than a standard 8 ounce, so I have suggested this is 10 ounce. Stained throughout. Rear shoulder edge has scrapes,and is chipped and bruised on one side over about 18 x 13 mm with another small bruise near this too. 7 x 7 mm chip to rear heel. Spot of rust or two. Some scratches and the odd little scuff mark. Looks OK on the shelf in this large size. 2. Very Good. Some patchy haze scattered around. A bit of rust stain and some other marks. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Tiny flake to right base heel. A nice early and scarce bottle, not sure I have seen one before. 3. Good. Upper right lip has a chip over about 20 x 6 mm. Stained throughout. Some grime. Flake chip to front right base heel. Some fine scratches and the odd scuff mark. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
