N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. At first I thought this may be zapped but it was amongst Ern's Dudley Flats dug bottles. So possibly heat affected but otherwise the glass is fine. It does seem that these come in unusual colours at times so could well be all original. A bit dull and stained. Has some baby oil inside. Nice embossing. Good looking bottle. 2. VG. A bit dull throughout. Little flake chip off the mid back top. Cute little bottle. 3. VG. An inclusion in the right lip with a super fine fracture over the top of it. A little bit hazy. Minor marks in general. Nice little bottle. 4. Good. Stained and still dirty inside. Lip has numerous small chips and flakes all around up to about 5 mm. Some scratches and wear. Embossing is actually quite decent but needs to be cleaned to see it properly! 5. VG. Dirty and actually has part of the label on the back but you really can't make out much more than "Cough Remedy". There is some rust stain stuck on. No major faults by the looks of it. 6. VG. Some stain inside. Bit of etching and lighter stain outside. An interesting little bottle. 7. Good. Dull and stained. 5 x 3 mm chip down the front lip with a 3 x 2 mm chip on top of the lip. Embossing is just in the side panels. 8. Good. Looks like dried contents of some sort stuck inside. Surface is dull but also quite scruffy with scratches all around. Colour looks brilliant if you can clean it up. 9. - 11. Crude one without base mark is Very Good. Has small flake chips along 10 mm of the front lip. Stained and dull. The more aqua M base mark one is Good. Bruise in the front right shoulder. Stained and dull. The pale ice blue one is Very Good. Just a bit hazy inside. Minor marks. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Estimate: $50-100
