Apothecary Jar

[RED Matthews]

So I am back. I like the flaired lip and wondered if the seams went all the way up to it or if it was tooled. Ihe kabel looks good and the glass ones often get cracked. It has to be worth 20 to 30, but value to me is based on what a bottle tells me about how it was made. RED Matthews

Y C Co. is probably Y G Co. = York Glass Co, which makes the bottle English in origin.

 

[deepbluedigger]

McT is right: Y G Co inside a hexagon in that style is the York Glass Co mark, from York in the UK. They were probably the largest maker of chemist / druggist display bottles in Britain during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Ok, that makes sense that it is Y G Co. Listing on ebay soon so if anyone wants it just make me an offer!

Mag: Calc:

I always thought this meant "Calcined Magnesia" which is Magnesium Oxide (MgO). It almost certainly isn't "magnesium calcium".
