wow, thanks you found a photo.
The ones I have handled like that are late, probably just before the turn of the century. Yours is actually even a little cruder looking than some I have seen.

I have had this bottle a while now,i can't find this exact bottle anywhere.The color is sort of yellowish green.It has the embossing Trade Swaims Mark Established 1820 Philad' a.The a is underscored.The bottle has a lot of bubbles,and a couple of potstones.

hi,
That also looks like one of the later Swaim's although prob not quite and late as the one above. I have seen them with that greenish tint before. I think they were aiming for a clear bottle but didnt get the chemical composition quite right. Must have been made on a Friday afternoon.

Hey all -
Here's a horrible photo I took after our show. It is much shorter than the one that was in Winchester (he was set-up w/ it at our show too). I wish that I got the exact size. I'll get it from them soon.

 

[newtothebottleworld]

My Swaim's bottle is much shorter than the ones listed also.It only measures 6 3/4 inches tall.

Id pay 5 bucks for a complete one of these. Its gotta be pontiled tho. []

Looks like the village idiot did the embossing on that one.
