1. Very Good. Some dirt inside will soak out easily. Rear outer lip has a little pitted scratch. Rear shoulder has a small spot of pitted wear as well. Upper left shoulder has two small spots of deep wear. Lower front panel has a couple of small spots of wear on either side. Lower left panel has a scratched area. A few spots of dullness. Some other scratches and marks to be found. A nice little item. 2. Very Good. Stained with some surface etching. May have been oiled internally at some stage. Little nibbled scrape mark at front right base edge, small flake to heel near this. Front upper corner has an impact mark which is a little pitted. A few inclusions with no associated damage. Some scratches and minor marks. Nice item, a bit harder to get in this earlier style without the diamonds embossed around the panels. 3. Very Good. Polished. A few spots of pitted wear to the rear. A few other little pitted marks and scratches to be found. Superb ice blue colour. 4. Very Good. Crude folds around the lip. Hazy throughout. Some sticker residue to the rear. A few scuffed marks and some scratches. A tiny nick or two. Quite unusual, the heavy embossing would normally be in the middle of the panels, this one has Hogan's and Phenyle located closer to the outer edge of their respective panels with a larger gap between those two words. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
