N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Has a plain stopper in place. Tiny nick to front lip. Nibbled wear to SL of Mosley, some lesser nicks to some of the other embossing at the top and middle, the word Melbourne has heavier nibbled wear with some flakes as well. Little nibbled impact to front right heel. Some scratches and fine scuffs to be found. 2. Good. L of Rowlands and A of Ballarat on the next line have a large, wide, deep pitted and flaked scratch over about 30 x 8 mm which has flaked those letters. The A has an open bubble through it as well. The W is flaked and the K too. 20 x 4 mm pitted scratch to lower rear, smaller similar mark just above this. Small spot of wear to right base edge. Little flake to front left base edge. A few odd looking patches which I now realise are those wide, pitted scratches that I previously mentioned but in other areas where they have actually been polished over to lessen them. The one mentioned to lower rear on closer inspection has had some work done to it as well. Some other scratches and scuffs. 3. EXC. Not a rare bottle by any means, but this is a lovely example! There is some grime down the front and right side, pretty sure this will soak off. Tiny surface flake to inner front heel. Short scratch to upper front. Little nibbled spot and a few spots of high point wear to the embossing which is mostly great. A few scratches and the odd minor scuff mark. Estimate: $30-60
