N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Bit of stain inside. Scuffs and scratches. A nice bottle that should clean up better. 2. VG. A bit stained with some rust and the like. Probably needs a good soak as much as anything. Of course one of the classics of bottle collecting. 3. Fair. 5 x 2 mm impact to the front right neck and from this is a crack that runs almost perfectly horizontal around the neck for about 50 mm. Nibbled inner lip and a flake or two on the outer lip. Stained. Heavy scratches down the back and one or two on the front. Interesting flask, made to have a stopper. 4. EXC. Some nibbling and fleabites to the inner lip. A few scratches and scuffs around. Great colour. Nice little bottle. 5. VG. Just a bit dull and stained. Manufacturing imperfection on the neck. Pretty good example. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Estimate: $100-200
