Steven,
Thanks for the info about snuff as it sometimes resides in ISPB’s.
Adrian,
When I first saw your two bottles, I was quick to judge the signatures as being off. I was pretty certain about the second, but not so sure about the first. The first looks good, but what I am curious about is the comparison of calligraphy of the signature side to the other side. The signature side is faded and finer in detail whereas the other side the calligraphy seems a bolder and clearer, at least as it relates to the rest of the bottle.  Is this the result of you trying to clean it?
Cheers,
Rube
