Status: offline 		SAbottles nice looking,did you dig this one? That could be an 1860 bottle.Nice I have never seen one with a sheared lip.Rory great pictures.The ones to the left in your picture are hand blown correct just later 1880s to 90s.I wish Jerry would join in to this post.They in England are much more authoritative on these bottles then us over here. Rory the hour glass shaped bottle is very old also.That is the same bottle I posted that was found at Grumblethorp in Philadelphia John Wistars mansion home.I wonder if the pamphlet I posted was indeed the first Turlington.

Yeah, those are tooled lips. Could be into the 1900's as I'm sure the switch to ABM by some took abit longer.

The lip/neck treatment on that one looks like the type on the tiny vial bottles on that other post . The one found on West Stiegel Street Steve showed.

Status: online 		I emailed Walter Devault about my Turlington bottle. He felt it was English , but could be a countereit. There is no way to tell for sure. He felt it dates in the 1780 to 1810 range, but hard to be exact about that. He told me the Turlingtons came in 2 sizes and mine was the smaller size. He currently has a collection of 150 Turlingtons. Maybe, we can get him on here to aid in our discussion. He sent me a some pics of some old clear Turlingtons and an 1750 Turlington.
