1. Very Good. Hazy throughout. Oiled internally. Some pitted scratches. Some fisheyes. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. Some wear to the embossing. Embossing is a bit light on this bottle. 2. Very Good. Polished. Some nicks around the heel. Remains of some fisheyes and pitted marks, not many though as most have been polished out. There has been hand preparation prior to the polish, you can see some flat spots from this, but looks to have been purely to remove fisheyes and the like and not grinding out any chips. A bit of crate wear to the embossing. The embossing has been well protected during the polish job. Looks pretty good. 3. Very Good. Has been oiled internally, some yellow residue inside the base. Little nick to heel. 6 x 4 mm flake near H of Harrison. Some patches of pitted wear. Some scuffs and scratches scattered around. A few fisheyes and impact marks. A bit of wear to some of the embossing. Lovely sun coloured amethyst. 4. Good. Stained throughout. Couple of flakes to right lip edge have a dark scuffed scratch from them. A bit of swirled surface etching. Plenty of little fisheyes and impact marks with a small nibbled nick or two. Some scuffs and scratches as well. Small star crack to inner left chamber. Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
