This is the most unique American made Robert Turlington bottle I have ever seen.
I believe this bottle to have been made between 1800 and 1815.I also believe it
is a product of the Glassboro New Jersey Heston and Carpenter or just Ed Carpenter's Olive
glass works as it matches in color with other known products from that factory.
The color of the bottle is green with a little aqua .The bottle has some neat striations in
the glass along with thin streaks of coloring in the neck and lip area that is very aqua.
There is a rough pontil and the lettering is barley discernable as it is washed away into the glass.
It is however the length of the neck on the bottle that makes it unique.I have never seen another
with a length of neck this long.I know the early original British versions are clear and more
rounded and quite neat looking also.Some time ago a member here at the forum posted a British
version he had found from the late 1700s
