Here is an odd one I scooped up off of ebay that was badly listed in a box lot. I have never owned a bottle like this one. It has a crazy flared lip like I have never seen on any bottle I have held, and has a smooth base. Again I have never seen a smooth based bottle with a flared lip. The color is darker tealish green that what the pics show.

Does anyone know where this bottle is from? I know Matt has it listed in the nexus, but I have no other real info. on the bottle.

Thanks

Brad

The base is very similar to a Baltimore blown U.S.A. Hosp. Dept. cobalt oval I own.

Everson & Cos United States Liniment was advertised around 1855.
It was sold in Dayton Ohio and a few other mid western cities.
The odd color, narrow flared lip, and embossing style seem to indicate a mid west bottle to me.
I havent tracked down Everson & Co yet but i'm guessing Ohio or Ill.
There are quite a few 1850s Ohio medicines which are smooth base.
Some people wrongly assume all pre-civil war bottles are pontil marked.

Thanks for posting the photo. Can I use it in the Nexus?

Some folks are also unaware that that use of a pontil rod was unilaterally banned on June 21, 1860. A hangable offense in fact.




That's a joke kids[;)]

Thanks for the info Matt. I appreciate it. You can use the pics however you would like. It is not a common bottle that is for sure. There is very little info on the web about the company.

Thanks. I changed where it was listed to the "E" section for Everson since I had it listed poorly before. Your example helped me classify it better.
