1. Very Good. Hazy, mainly to the upper half. Impact mark to left shoulder. Flaked impact mark to rear embossing. Crate wear around bulbous neck section. Oiled internally. Scuffs, scratches and fisheyes scattered around. There is embossing all over this thing, some crate wear to the high points of this, but in general it is pretty good. A good polish will bring this up nicely. 2. Good. Polished. Extensive crate wear, scuffs and scratches to the body including some deep, pitted scratches to the shoulder area. Several fisheyes and impact marks. Embossing is strong, has some flakes and crate wear to it. Tiny burst bubble near rear base has patch of deep wear near it. 5 x 5 mm fisheye to base heel down from this. A little bit hazy in places. 3. Very Good. Light haze throughout. Some dirt internally. Scuffs, scratches and fisheyes scattered externally. Some minor marks to the high point of the lettering. Not a bad example, a bit harder to get in this earlier applied lip version. Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
