1. Poor. Not sure I've seen too many sandblasted S. Ball bottles? I'm sure these are usually the earlier T. Ball. Anyway this is also a pretty unusual applied top crown seal with deep kickup to the base. That's the good news! The bad news is that the base of the bottle has been broken and glued back together and there is a large crack up the back of the bottle. Chip to the front lip. Typical wear and marks. Still displays OK. 2. Excellent. Dusty and grimy. Patch on the back and base where it has stuck in the mould. Minor scratches and marks. Great colour. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 40
