Almost, Richard, but not quite.

Not a powdered glass pontl? I see a rough patch?

This one is a double bonus.
It says druggist & apothecary.

No, it is a smooth base.

That dryer looks like it came off the Space Shuttle.
I do have NH druggists in a box somewhere (LOL). When I finally get settled, all the bottles I have told people about on here, WILL come out and get to the right folks. Promise.

Hello woody; This bottle took my eye because of the description of the pontil and the fact that it does look different. I would appreciate a discussion of the mold seams and their relationship to the bottom seams. And maybe a couple shots of the bottom from a different angle.
Regarding the glass dust pontil. The glass they used for empontilling was not always dust. The shape of this pointil scar is not plainly evident. The crushed glass didn't always get to the dust size description.
When a disc edge punty rod was used the crushed glass was stuck around the edges of the disc. They had pieces of chips that were irregular and had a great difference of size.
Regardless it looks like a nice old bottle. What does the finish look like?
Thanks RED Matthews

Are you talking about the ground top bottle, Red???

Another one for Oldtimer.

Woody, you are making me very happy. I see you must have dug not too too far from Concord to get all those Concord bottles.
My inclination is to gather stuff from smaller towns if possible, as "big city" stuff is more apt to be 'common".
However, NO NH PHARM is beyond my desire.
Is it spring yet?

I live about 20 minutes from Concord, so, when I dig in Loudon, Canterbury, Gilmanton, Belmont, Sanbornton, Laconia, etc..... It comes with the territory to get pharmacy bottles from the capital of NH, Concord.
I can't wait for spring, also.
Here's the base of the ground top for Red after I cleaned it up with ammonia and soap and water.
Pretty sure it's an ink as there was ink residue in the bottle.
