1. Poor. Circular 50 x 20 mm cracked area to lower left at base edge, wouldn't surprise me if this pops out one day. Otherwise just a bit dirty. Has a plain wooden stopper. 2. Very Good. Stained throughout. Oiled internally, this has yellowed. Couple of pitted scratches to lower rear. Small impact flake to front heel. Some fisheyes. A little surface rust. Some scratches and scuffs. Has a plain lignum vitae stopper. 3. Very Good. Some dirt will clean out. Large burst bubble to right heel is a bit flaked around its edges. Dirty surface bubble to upper left. A couple more to mid rear. Some scuffs, wear and scratches scattered around. Some fine high point wear to the embossing. A few fisheyes. Has a Harrison lignum vitae stopper in place. 4. Good. Half the inner front lip is chipped and flaked, there is a chip to outer front lip that has a small fracture from it as well. Some inner dirt will clean out. Little nibbled mark to front near base edge. Some scratches. A bit of crate wear to the upper embossing. Scuffed mark to right. This is from the late Roy Millar collection. Grade: N/A Estimate: $15 - 25
