1. Fair. Heavily worn and pitted throughout. Black patch to rear lip. Nibbled lip with a couple of small upper lip flakes. Pitted marks and fisheyes throughout. Scuffs and scratches as well. 2. Very Good. 8 x 7 mm flake to outer side lip. An impact on top of lip here also has a small fine associated bruise to inner lip. Some light haze in places and inner dirt, the dirt will clean out but looks like there will still be some fine haze afterwards. Little flake under heel. Some heel nibbles and wear. Scuffs and scratches scattered around with some little fisheyes. Nice strong embossing just has some minor high point wear and little nicks. A nice looking bottle in this colour. 3. Very Good. Hazy. Couple of fine inner lip bruises to the front. Upper lip has a couple of white looking fisheyes. Tiny flake to inner heel. Fisheyes scattered around. Some scuffs and scratches, these are heaviest to the rear. The front is actually reasonably shiny. Nice embossing, a little flake or two and some minor high point wear to it. Lovely colour, and a harder to get variation with the small E. These are from the late Roy Millar collection. Grade: N/A Estimate: $70 - 100
