N/A. (N/A). 1. EXC. First of all this is an unusual base embossed black! You don't see that lettering too often. Anyway this is a nice clean bottle and of course has the engraved design added in modern...I mean 40 odd years ago times! 2. & 3. Both are VG. Small one has a chip to the under side of the applied top. Both have scuffs and scratches. Looks like the original cork in the large one. Good looking pair of bottles. Estimate: $20-40
