Offered Here, Today, is an Original, Antique, American Mold-Blown, 1840's-Era Patent-Medicine / Bitters Bottle from New Bedford Massachusetts.The 8-Sided-Rectanular-Shaped Bottle Features an Extremely Crudely Formed, "Applied", Sloping, Double-Collar Top, or "Lip-Finish". The Angled Front-Side Panels are Embossed, Vertically w/ "DR. WOOD'S / WILD CHERRY / & SARSAPARILLA / BITTERS". This Bottle is Literally Shimmering with Gem-Like "Whittle-Marks", and Over-All Glass-Crudity.
The Early Embossed Letters are of the Oldest-Possible Style of "19th. Century "Font", and are Crooked and Unevenly Blown, which Really Adds to the Mystique of the Early Bottle. There are Entrapped Air-Bubbles of Various Shapes and Sizes Through-out the Glass which Displays Various amounts of Thickness in Many Places. The Eight-Sided Bottom of the Bottle Displays a Crude Circular "Open-Pontil-Scar" which is Surrounded by Nice Deep Blue-Aqua "Ice-Like" Glass Crudity. This is One of the Crudest "Pontiled-Bottles" I have Ever Seen and actually had the Fortune to Own, for a Number of Years.
CONDITION: "Excellent" NO FORMS OF "DAMAGE", NO CHIPS, NO CRACKS, NO OPEN-BUBBLES, NO "POT-STONE RADIATIONS", NO DISTRACTING SCUFFS, OR SCRATCHES, NO BRUISES, NO "FLEA-BITES", NO STRIKES OR IMPACT DINGS.
