N/A. (N/A). 1. Fair. Looks great, but the upper lip is very flat, this has been ground down. There remains a flake to the upper lip and one to the outer front lip. Couple of nibbled flakes to the bottom of the lip collar. Plenty of scuffs and scratches scattered around. Hgh point wear to the embossing. 2. Excellent. Bit of a scrape mark to left base edge with a couple of associated very minor heel flakes. Small flake to front heel. A few nibbled marks elsewhere on the base edge. A bit of dust and grime which will clean off. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Great trade mark of a bear with chains maybe climbing a tree stump? 3. Very Good. This is huge, and has extremely heavy embossing, quite a site to behold. Two small inner lip flakes amongst some general wear. Couple of small flakes around the base edge. Scuffs and scratches to be found, heaviest around the base edge but there are a series of scuffed marks to rear shoulder as well. Embossing is great wiht only minor marks. Some dirt to be found which will clean off. 4. Very Good. Has a Barrett and Elers stopper in place. Couple of nibbled flakes to bottom of lip collar. Some scratches and minor scuffs. Great looking little bottle. Really nice group overall. Estimate: $50-75
