N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. 4 x 3 mm flake to outer front lip. Some inner dirt, a bit of grime outside as well, looks like this will clean off. Little nibbled impact to rear heel. Some nibbled wear to some of the strong embossing. 4 x 4 mm fisheye to left base edge. Some fine scratches and the odd small scuff mark. Decent example of a rare variation! We have only ever seen this makers mark on one bottle before, (Adelaide Glass Bottle Wks), and it was one of these bottles. 2. Poor. 5 x 6 mm chip to upper left lip. Associated 10 x 3 mm inner lip bruise. Tiny flake to outer right rear lip. Nibbled impact to right chamber. Three shallow chips to upper rear body. 13 x 18 mm deep chip to front left, this has taken out the H of Hall. A few nibbled flakes around the lower rear body. 11 x 8 mm deep chip to right base edge. Some pitted wear. Fisheyes and impact marks scattered around. Some scuffs and scratches as well. Some wear to the embossing. You rarely see these in purple. 3. VG. Stained throughout with some swirled surface etching. Some little fisheyes and impact marks. Some scratches and small scuff marks. A little bit of wear in places. 4. VG. Hazy throughout. Oiled internally with associated dullness and grime. 6 x 5 mm chip to front heel. Some fisheyes and impact marks. Some scuffs and scratches as well. A little wear and some nicks to the high points of the strong embossing. 5. VG. Some fine inner dirt looks like it will soak out. Just one or two fine fisheyes. Some minor wear to some of the fine embossing. Just a few light scratches and minor marks. 6. Poor. Some light inner haze and dirt. Little nibbled impact to right base edge. Some crate wear to embossing. Nibbled impact to upper front. Some scuffs and scratches. The marble is inside the base, the reason for this is the main issue! The rear neck crimp has been chipped out leaving a hole over about 25 x 5 mm, probably an attempt to make this a money box. Estimate: $100-200
