N/A. (N/A). 1. Good. Dull. Lots of scratches and scuffs. There has been another very faint sandblasted name on the right side which you can just see a letter or two. Small chips on the underside of the ring at the front top. 2. Good. Some small chips and bruises inside the lip. Similar little marks around the base edge. General scuffs and scratches. Print is a bit weak. 3. Good. Scuffs and scratches all around. Weak parts to the print but mostly ok. Generally solid. 4. VG. Bottle is scuffy and scratched, has seen a fair bit of use. Etching is nice and clear. Bit of stain and the like around. 5. Good. Dirty inside. Very scruffy with scratches all over. Each edge of the sandblasted print is weak. 6. Good. Dull. Quite scuffy. Good print. Deep burst bubble over the right base edge of 11 x 10 mm. 5 x 2 mm chip over the back lip. 7. VG. I suspect this is a modern made bottle to fit with the old sandblasted ones from Bendigo. The design on this one is a different font and much deeper etched than the many Bendigo ones we have had through. Bottle is old and has some scratches and wear, but even it looks to be maybe 1890s or early 1900s so would be after Sandhurst changed back to Bendigo anyway.. Estimate: $80-150
