Hi all. Picked up this early pontilled almost clear glass Turlingtons just days ago which is very crude with a thin flared lip.This bottle was found near London at Rochester in Kent (England)under some floor boards in an old chemist shop.
Here's some pictures. Kindest regards Wayne Wood.

Turlingtons Balsam 1/2

This Turlington has no embossment on the sides and 1/2 embossed on the bottom.

Front/Back is embossed " TUR
LING
TONS
BALSAM "

The bottle stands 2 5/8", the diagonal mold seam stops on the shoulder.

I would appreciate any replies, in particular, comments that will ID it being American or English and age.01.jpg03.jpg04.jpg

The base mark and fount for same strongly suggests to me English. it's a later turlingtons, as it's not pontiled. But I'm no expert in English bottles.
