That one is pretty cool. Looks like a really light amber.. I'm to understand Suffolk has an amber medicine, but other than Richmond and Petersburg I've never seen any. Staunton and leesburg have cobalt ones, and Richmond has 1 teal medicine and a couple milk glass meds. I'd like to have any of the above..

Looks like a selenium glass coloring. Is it a later machine made bottle.
The selenium bleached bottles can turn that color if exposed to UV.

Thanks for agreeing with me Matt, your knowledge is far greater than mine when it comes to bottles so it's nice to have someone like you in agreement with me. Now when it comes to Plumbing and Reciting the Alphabet Backwards I think I can take ya'....[8D]
