N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Shallow chip near front base edge. A few fine scratches and minor marks. Label has seen better days but is mostly legible. It is quite heavily stained, has some wear and a few missing pieces. Very interesting though and looks to be original to this bottle, which is more commonly known as a hock wine bottle. Many companies in those days used whatever they could lay their hands on, maybe that is the case here as well? 2. VG. Flake to outer left lip. Associated sliver along the upper left lip. Hard to see fine inner lip bruise here too. Small rear outer lip bruise. Haze internally. Some rust. Discoloured scratch to upper rear. Scuffs and scratches to be found. Some spots of wear. 3. Very Good. Dirty internally, looks like it will clean up a bit. A few scuffed scratches to the left and rear. A few other light scratches and the odd scuff mark. 4. Very Good. Some dirt and rust which may clean up a little. Band of heavily scuffed scratches down the right side. Nick or two to heel. Some others scratches and the odd scuff mark. Estimate: $30-60
