Dr Townsend's // Sarsaparilla // Albany / N Y // - // Base Mark: Hinge Mould & round pontil. Spirits Sarsaparilla Applied top, square shape. Dark Olive Green / Black. 26 oz. 244 mm. 1850s
Excellent. Could well be graded as Mint, we have downgraded purely due to a burst bubble which is from manufacture. At the front bottom corner is a bubble, 10 x 6 mm, of this only about 3 x 5 mm is open, this is about 1 mm deep. There is a tiny 1.5 x 1 mm and extremely shallow flake to one corner edge in the upper region. Some light scuffs and scratches to the upper corners on very close inspection. This is a nice crude bottle loaded with bubbles, it has a large inclusion inside the rear panel which has no fractures at all associated with it. Swirly type glass which is lighter in the shoulder region. This is a hinge mould bottle, it also has an obvious round pontil around the outer part of the recessed base. There is some minor usage wear under the base. Grade: 8.9 Estimate: $500 - 600
