Dr Townsend's // Sarsaparilla // Albany / N. Y. No 1. Round pontil to base. Spirits Sarsaparilla Square section. Applied top. Dark Green. 26 oz. 238 mm. 1850s
Very Good. This would be a stunner but the very top of the lip has been ground slightly and smoothed over. The shape of the top still appears to be very close to the original so not much has been done. There are the remains of three small chips which can still be seen but are very shallow (8 x 3 mm; 5 x 2 mm and 4 x 1 mm). Inside the bottle is still a bit dirty. Just light scratches and the like around the bottle. Beautiful early Townsend's and highly desirable in this No 1 variety. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $$500.00 - $600.00
