Light haze or dirt internally, looks like this will possibly soak out. Little nick or two to lip. A few fisheyes around, mostly the base edge but a few elsewhere. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Just some minor spots of wear to the embossing. 3. Good. Stained throughout. 13 x 9 mm bruise to outer rear lip. 5 x 4 mm bruise to upper rear lip. Fisheyes and impact marks. Plenty of scratches and scuffs scattered around and some patches of wear as well. Some crate wear to the embossing, though the main embossing isn't too heavily marked. We have never sold one of these before. 4. VG. Little nibbled impact to base edge. Little pitted scratch to left base edge, possibly even a making split. Some fine fisheyes and impact marks. Some scuffs and scratches as well. The seam around the lip has fine nibbles around it. May have been coated in something to shine it up a little? We haven't sold a small one of these before. Estimate: $50-100
