1. Fair. Several chips and flakes around the lip, possibly an associated bruise or two as well. Heavily stained throughout. 4 mm fracture to bottom of applied lip. Down the right side of the monogram side there are some scratch type marks which are very deep and flaked and chipped in places. Burst bubble to lower front right. Impact flakes and pits right around the lower body and base edge. Fracture along edge of airbubble under base. Extensively worn surface with scuffs, scratches, fisheyes and impact marks scattered throughout. Mark on inner chamber looks like a deep scratch, this may be a fine fracture, if it is it is very shallow. A rare bottle in this version, does need a bit of work though. 2. Very Good. Bruised or fractured area across about 10 or so mm to the lip. Tiny impact flake to upper side body. A bit dirty and grimy, some will clean out, but it looks like there is some patchy light haze as well. Odd mark near base edge on one side is a making mark. Little open bubble to rear. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. A few little impacts and fisheyes. 3. Poor. Stained throughout. Small rear lip bruise. Rear chamber has a bruise as well. 33 mm crack across the mid front. Bruise to lower left. Larger bruise to lower right. Behind this to right rear is a crack that goes 38 mm to the base edge, then 33 mm under the base. Small bruise to upper rear body. I may have missed one or two as well? Heavily scuffed and scratched throughout, some are pitted too. Some fisheyes and impact marks including some surface flakes. Crate wear across the embossing. These are from the late Roy Millar collection. Grade: N/A Estimate: $25 - 45
