That mold dates to around 1854, where it is pontiled. I believe union glassworks used the same mold and modified it with the date appearing to be pontiled.
If you look closely at the block letter "J" there is a ghost embossing that appears to be the same as Russ 10-106, blob undated version...

You have negative reviews of selling oiled bottles as clean so its no surprise youre trying to pass off a damaged bottle as "sheared top" or "broken lip".

I dont know much about Northern sodas, but i do know this bottle came cobalt, green, and aqua. Cobalt being the usual color. The green is rare and aqua is very rare. I have no clue on current value tho.

I deal with people like this everyday. You either tell them what they want to hear or you dont know what youre talking about. Its like talking to a brick.

I only collect Ryans and there are no known dated pontiled Ryans. The original pontiled molds were altered, with date and smooth base, even though they have a kickup they were not pontiled.

A common misconception in antiquities is rarity translates to a higher value. Just because something is rare or even one of a kind, doesn't make it valuable.

What concentration of muriatic acid are you guys starting with? I dont know of anywhere you can buy it pure and everywhere i see it for sale, its pre diluted but some are different strengths.
