New bottle today. Found at 13th & Lombard St., Philadelphia. Haven't started researching it yet. I was so excited I wanted to share it with people who have my excitement.

Philada, this could put the bottle around 1840's.

Wow, that's beautiful! Is it an iron pontil? I'm not seeing any pontil but it looks so old that it must have one. I'm assuming this is a medicine, correct? It's an unusual-looking one.

Cramer came to Philadelphia in 1861 and open his drug store. I can one in the American Glass Gallery. They say it's rare. What are your thoughts? Can anyone tell me of another photo.

How tall is it? Doesn't look like a pontil base, so I'm thinking 1880-1890's. A similar looking cobalt blue med., 10 5/8 inch tall , marked, "Frank Morgan & Sons, Phila.", with smooth base is shown as $150 to $200. However, I have seen cobalt blue meds. from Memphis, such as the Mansfield go as high as $600, market and demand. Hope you find an answer. It is a great find!

The bottle is 5 1/2 inches. The bases looks like it was added last. It's not perfectly level.
