I can settle this debate, just send the 2 bottles to me and I'll decide how old they are.

I have been of the suspicion that these handled jugs are likely made in New Jersey or Philadelphia area glass houses. These don't seem to turn up around the Baltimore area very often. And Baltimore really never blew much pure amber glass until closer to the 1860s. 1840s and 50s Baltimore amber is almost always a shade of puce or topaz or some other weird off color. If they were blowing these in Baltimore I would suspect to see them in more variations of color including green and yellow examples.
Also there are a large number of handled whiskeys from New York and Philadelphia And only 2 from Baltimore. One is a unique example and the other is the Griffith Hyatt. So the form wasn't very popular here.
Also I don't believe much off hand tableware was ever produced at the Baltimore glass houses except blown and pressed tumblers.

Funny coincidence Chris. The only top I have in my collection that is a dead ringer for this top is on my old Houck's Panacea Bottle. Probably just a coincidence though., but funny [
