Description

12-sided, open pontil, small sized bottle. Blown in a hinge mold with rolled lip. This the typical size and shape for many small medical or patent medicine bottles from the CW and pre-war era. C.1850-60. I tipped it over while getting it ready for the website and the shoulder cracked on one side which extends up the neck to the lip. The bottle still seems solid and the crack only goes half way round. It will still display well and you cannot see the crack from one side. Glass is very clean and clear without any cloudiness. My mistake offers an opportunity for a good cheap display as it is so nice and clean. Still has value even with damage as these CW era OP bottles are getting harder and harder to find.
