I nearly fell over going for this gem. Early Four piece mold with wicked pontil Forest Green with Embossed 2 In Circle applied lip bubbles galore with incredible whittle, molding marks and stretch marks. Mint. Measures 11 1/2" tall by 7 1/2' widest point, 5" breadth, 4" by 3" base. Probably European. What do the experts say?

Thanks for the confirmation. Has anyone seen another like it before? I am trying to get a feel for the find.

The numbers probably indicate gallons, which makes me think it is either American or British. The lip looks American to me, but the 'seal' doesn't..

That is a super nice find in an awesome color. Congratulations!! Does the slug plate have any dimples debossed in it? Can you post a close up of the slug plate? Thanks for sharing SK

Not really a slug plate and it does have two indention's: one on the top and one underneath the 2. Seems the mystery is solved with the last entry. This bottle has honest bottom wear. Watch for it on Ebay. Thanks for all your help.
