1. Very Good. Four short but thick hairlines around the top. A bit of wear and minor marks elsewhere. Main print is great but the dog pictorial on the shoulder is a bit light. Nice ink bottle. 2. Very Good. Some haze. Inclusion to rear has no associated damage. Maybe a fine scratch or two. Hard to get in this larger size with the writing over three lines. 3. Excellent. A few tiny spots of surface rust, some light patches of grime. Really looks like this will all clean out. Crude whittled marks throughout. 4. Near Mint. A little inner dirt should clean out. Surface bubble to lower right rear. Couple of surface bubbles under the heel. Spot of surface rust or two. Just a little scratch or two. Great example. 5. Very Good. Flakes and little bruises around the lip. Some light haze. A few spots of surface rust. Some scuffs and scratches. 6. Very Good. Couple of nibbled marks to outer lip edge. Making dint to inner neck. Some inner grime and a small amount of outer grime as well which should all clean out. Fabulous looking bottle in this lovely colour. Hard to get with Newcastle on it. 7. Very Good. Some fine slivers and flakes around the sheer lip. Blue stain inside is likely from the original ink. Little in the way of other marks. Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
