Aschenbach & Miller PHILADA

[DIGS CHESCO]

This bottle just came out of the dirt, I can't find much on it, looks like a druggist or a flavoring bottle. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello digs.....

George Aschenbach and Adolph Miller were druggist in Philadelphia at 400N 3rd and 346 Dillwyn in the city directories for 1881 and 1889
George was born in Saxony in 1807 and died January 1880 He came to America in 1847
He had a son named Edward who was also a druggist but I can't find much info on him.
Hope this helps.

Regards,

Hello Tom,

That is a very nice example. What color would'ya call that? Maybe, after it's bath, you could post some more photos in natural light.

There was a recent discussion about another example: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m-370122/mpage-1/tm.htm#370283

I've got one similar in form.

That amber bottle is very cool I too have only seen them in aqua similar to surface ones. I had no idea they would bring $100 in aqua, I assumed being from Philly and not having a pontil they would not be worth much. Thanks for that info John, I got several that came out of a pit in Ohio, maybe I'll start listing them as one a kinds every six months.[]
