Chris here is why I think it is the 53.

First: The RESURGAM Emblem on the 53 in narrower then the one on the 54
Second: The BALTIMORE AND the GLASSWORKS Pennants are narrower and curvier on the 53
Third: The eagles head on the 53 is thinner and more detailed.
Fourth: The light radiating out around the Eagles head on the 53 are longer in length
additionaly there is a vertile curving break in the light beams on each bottle however on the 53
the beams to the left and the right of the break are longer in length on the 53 then on the 54.
Both of you have the GXIII-53,both are great looking bottles for different reasons.Chris your bottle has
outstanding color,Morb the lip on your bottle is rare I have not ever seen one on this bottle before.Here is
Mckearin's description and a second picture detailing the diffrent traits on Morbs and really also your bottle Chris.
