It's a dark green bottle bout 9.5" tall. Taper top lotta bubbles in the glass. Not a pontil but in the push up it has a "4" embossed.

It kind of reminds me of a bigger toga bottle. Any info???
Thanks.

they come in two sizes. this might be the smaller one? sounds tall tho. here is a crappy image of my Clarke and white with some soda bottles. the sodas are 7" more or less. this is considered the small one. this was dug btw in 1850-60 context. not many had pontils, some real early ones did, like 1830-40, but im not sure that it would have said Clarke and White. somewhere here there is, no doubt a discussion of the years that Clarke and white were in biz together.

here is another Saratoga bottle that was dug in 1860's context. it is the same size as my Clarke and White with a "C". From this image, it looks like it tops out at 8" so 9.5" seem a little tall for a little bottle.(pint?) now I really want to see a pic of yours!

Here is a pint size sand chip pontiled Clarke and White bottle I found several months ago. This was a really cool bottle and I debated on whether or not to keep it! What I found so unique about it was it's huge applied sloping collared lip with ring. The pictures really do not do it justice. I believe this may possibly be from the Mt. Pleasant glassworks, but I am not a hundred percent sure. Don Tucker wrote a great book on Saratoga type bottles if your interested in learning more about them!

I won't be at my computer until tomorrow, but if you want to email it to me I will post your pics tomorrow. Some one else might be able to walk you through the I phone thing. I can't. Sorry.twowheelfan@yahoo.com
