I'm looking for a couple of nice examples of American pontiled 'Essence of / Peppermint / by the / Kings Patent'. Does anyone have one that's for sale, or known someone who does?
Thanks
Jerry

Nope. Put what I thought was quite a high snipe bid on it, but ended up as the underbidder. So I'm still looking for one or two of these!

Nice little American pontiled Essence of Peppermint is on it's way to me now! Eventually got one from an English collector.

Here's a pic of a really early English example: same size and shape as the more normal ones, and probably dates between 1798 and 1813. Juniper was the inventor of Essence of Peppermint (got his royal patent in 1762). He died in 1798 and left the rights to his friend John Heath. Seems that Heath died in 1813. This bottle was recently found in a circa 1900 site in England. If any forum members have one of these they'll sell to me, I'd really like to hear about it.

Thanks.

This is the Essence of Peppermint I managed to purchase. I'm pretty sure this is an American bottle and not a British one.

I am also looking for 1-2 of these for a display at a Historic site. If anyone has one, please let me know.
