There are a lot of subjects in the forum and some are quite repetative so I thought it would be a cool and an original idea to illustrate and challenge you all to show your most whittled item.(bottle)!
Here is mine . 1830's Daffy's
See this lot below. All Dalby's Gels and Carminatives. Approximate ages, the unpontilled Dalby about 1870, the American pontilled Dalby about 1830, the English pontilled clear glass and the Gells bluey glass both about 1840.

Shame, I thought after reading the descritpion it was going to be another type of lid that wrights had for Shaving powder. The one i refer to has a picture of a man shaving. Its a real beauty, and came in two varients AFAIK. A black and whit and a Sepia print. The Lid can be seen below. There...
