Those are some cool knock-offs!

It's a sheared lip, or the top was damaged, ground down, and polished?

 

[sunrunner]

yea , bear , you got it right . I know a few digger who will repair broken bottles by grinding chipped lips and passing them off as a blob. it's ok as long as you tell the buyer its a repair and sell it at lest half the price.of the going rete .

 

[CreekWalker]

I wanted the Becker , for the color, because that one in Amber is tough to find. Seller was agreeable to the price offered, little more than one third of the aqua type , which is uncommon. It's suspect to me , because of the chipping, but that's not unusual.
