Just found this combing through my old newspapers.The Monday April 19th 1813 edition of the General Aurora Advertiser Market Street Philadelphia.
Right under the date Richard Barrington has a few groce of Bristol bottles for sale.Here is a Philadelphian importing Bristol glass.The second column 4th ad down in bold print twice in the same ad as though to get a point across,Flint Glass Manufactory Trevor & Encell Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.Now here you have a firm all the way out in Pittsburgh advertising in a Philadelphia Newspaper they have flint glass for sale.It looks as though a lot of glass was coming and going from Philadelphia in 1813.

Tough to read I know here are some close ups.

The Bristol bottles ad.

Yep, lots of former Colonists (and newfound "Americans") looking for any way to make a buck. Even in the midst of and aftermath of the War of 1812 there were still plenty of folks in these "United States" with business ties to England and others with lingering feelings that "English glass is the best glass." Tariffs were not as effective as they may have been in that folks charged with upholding the law would often look the other way in order to protect their own relationships abroad....

English IMO.

Manchester, solid rod pontil, English font style, maybe a little later 1840s?

Am I close?

English
Same reasons as Mike's (esp. Manchester w/o a state abbrv. after it)
