1. Very Good. Polished. Scratching to inner lip. Bit of a flat spot near base point that coincides with a series of deep fractured impacts, probably they tried to remove this and found it too deep.

A few impacts around the lip and little nibbled flakes. (7.0). 2. Very Good. Polished. Remains of some fine inner etching and some inner rear scratches. Thin open bubble to rear. Circular impact to left. Flake to W of trade mark. Some fisheyes and scratches remain, but in general this is a quite a good polish job. Nicely embossed, some minor marks to the high points. (7.5). Grade: N/A Estimate: $70 - 100
