A good buddy just bought some great bottles from a long time collector. He got this and we don;t know for sure where it is from or what it up with this style bottle. ANYTHING anyone knows would be appreciated.
This is another crazy bottle. Great color crude example with folds in the glass and an 1870's applied blob and deep hinge mold base.
Anyone know anything on this one?
Bought a big collection today... Buying another tomorrow... Need to know what this one is. Minty incredible light orange color. ground lip 51 on bottom.
