Cool, Well I paid a buck for it so guess the standard selling price of 40 to 50 bucks will do nicely, just hate to sell it, for some reason it screams to me! Maybe I'll keep just one OP! Thanks for everything Jeff

Thanks! So smooth base hing mold. I need to look up the years this type was used. Guess what's throwing me off is the seams stop at the base of the neck, has a crude applied tapered lip and the embossing I.B. All pointing to 1840-1860 is this right?

Me again, Here is the second Dr. Wistar's bottle had questions about. Is this a sand Pontil? I.B. (Isaac Butt proprietor 1844-1845) is embossed on this bottle so was wondering if you can date the bottle to 44-45 or was IB used after he sold out? Thanks!
