Thx. I had to keep the stopper—the embossed aquas are cool, and I keep anything with a patent date.
The L&P base:

JD
7
S

Sorry it's not a UK bottle. It's some variant of the Duncan.
Yes they are.

I'm not used to finding anything pre-1870, but, this looks old. Let me know.

P. HALL / Philada
There's a tar-like residue inside, but I'll give it an acid bath and post "after" pics.

The base... looks like a pontil scar to me, but I don't see many.

...and the finish is definitely applied & hand-tooled.
