Holman's Natures Grand Restorative

[Sand_pontil]

This is one of the first better bottles I found. It was back in 2010. I was free diving and thought I had a slick until I got it up. Still had no idea what I had as I was new to bottles then so I placed it onto the bank with all the others and kept searching. BIMAL no pontil. It reads HOLMAN'S / NATURES GRAND / RESTORATIVE - J.B.HOLMAN,PROP. - BOSTON MASS. Theres some scratching here and there but not a flake is missing. And theres two very large unusual shaped bubbles right under the embossing. Sorry about the not so good pictures. Its around zero degrees here and I am nervous about bringing glass outside.[attachment=HOLMANS_1.jpg][attachment=HOLMANS_2.jpg]

That's a beauty! In Matt's book, an open pontiled olive amber one sold at Skinner's auction for......get this......$15,405! No year it sold was noted, but that's a whopping number for a medicine for ANY year. Matt also lists a couple pontiled aqua ones, a 7" and 9" for $200-250 & $300-400 respectively. Couldn't pry yours out of my dead hands if I found it for less than $200 easily, but that's just me. Nice one for sure, pontiled or not! Jack

Nice one, looks like it just missed pontil age.

I have seen the olive example online. I think they attributed it to the Keene glass house but not sure. Ive seen a few aqua smooth base examples go on eBay in the $80-$90 range if I remember correctly.
