N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Dull and stained. Shallow 7 x 2 mm chip over the left lip although this could just be part of manufacture. Light marks generally. 2. VG. A bit dull and stained. Some light scuffs. Should clean up really well. 3. VG. Dull and stained. Some scratches and scuffs but looks pretty good overall. Interesting one. Not sure of its origin. Perhaps W. J. Donegan from Bendigo? Definitely a Melbourne Glass Works base mark. 4. VG. Look early but these are in fact a later copycat product of the popular Kruse's Magnesia sold by Felton, Grimwade & Co. This one is a bit cloudy. Some dirt and grime. Great embossing. 5. VG. Dull and stained. Scuffs here and there. Some rust stuck on. Fairly early aqua variety with applied top. 6. A bit dull and stained. Dirtty still. Bit of extra glass on the front left shoulder from making. Light scuffs and wear. Unusual bottle, don't recall seeing this variation of the Lee's before. 7. VG. But a lot of stain. Parts of the capsule stuck around the neck. Some copper and rust stain stuck on. Some scratches. 4 x 3 mm chip under the front right base edge. Great embossing. I've assumed a Hair Lotion or similar due to the shape of the bottle but this company made all sorts of products. 8. Large one is Good. Has a 10 x 4 mm chip to the front top and 3 x 2 mm to the back right lip. Dull and stained. 9. Very Good. Couple of pinprick marks around. Haze and stain. 10. Very Good. Some internal stain. Minor marks. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Estimate: $80-120
