Here is a not so good pic of it. It is before I finished cleaning it up. The crown motif is very cool, and it is a really early bottle by Texas medicine standards. The maker was out of business by the early 1880's, and I think this one is late 1870's. I think this bottle was made for a bit. The dose glass seems to be newer than the bottle, and some of the shards we dug were clear I think. This one is aqua with a gnarly top.

This bottle has been made it's rounds, but I Think it will be here for a while. If I ever sell it I will offer it to you first.

Brad

This is a different variant than mine. Your is a slug plate, and mine is non slug. I would really like to buy it if you would sell it. I am always looking for different Texas bottles. Please keep me in mind. I have not heard from you in a while. I hope you are well.
