Some more pictures on a bright sunny VERY WINDY>>>>>>> day.You can see the bottle is very light sea green in color very typical of Southern New Jersey made glass.

Another picture.

Number 3 In close on the rolled lip very typical of early Chestnut bottles.This has me leaning towards this bottle being very early in manufacture.

Number 4 You can see in the corners the product that was in the bottle.I know products will change color over two hundred years but maybe it was this color of yellowy orange.It would be neat to remove some of it and have it tested by a lab for all of the ingrediants that are in the formula.

Number 5 Again you can see the product in the corners and scattered through out the bottom of the bottle.

Real nice bottle and pictures Steve....It would make me nervous to have that bottle outside when it's windy....Especially when you figure the odds of it surviving till now.

Joe, Do you have date on the morbid ad with the smiling woman?

I have an 1829 pdf which I would add to the post if the forum supported it. It features the round sided bottle.

It's significant to learn Swaim advertised in 1811. Thanks Mr Sewell, any chance you can look earlier?
