Robert Turlington's Balsam Of Life

[Road Dog]

Mine has all the embossing the pic you showed has except this little guy is so short there is no " of life" and "to" on it cuz there was no room.

I cant just keep redoing the chart Rory,[]So what your saying is your bottle is a good early American Imitation.[8|][]

Did they make the oldies in different sizes? This one is 2 1/16" tall.

 

[Steve/sewell]

Rory the older ones I posted in the chart are only anywhere from 2 and a an eigth to 2 and a quarter inches in height.The only strange one is the first picture in this post the girrafe necked one standing a whopping 3 and 1 eigth inches.

This one reads JAN.Y 26 1754. There is no "U" and the "Y" is higher like the drawing.

 

[Road Dog]

Also "LONDON" reads from the top down like the pic.

Your bottle is looking good Rory, we need the English mates to offer up their thoughts now.Maybe they have seen your bottle before and can help verify these charts accuratley.

One other bit of info . The tail of the "Y" in JAN.Y curves towards the N.

You've got to be careful assuming they evolved from one form to another. Just like the old Darwin evolution of man chart, turns out it was more complicated. Different styles and forms were probably made at different glasshouse here and in England likely at the same time. Great topic and info!

Well thats sure enough clues for one of the British guys to tell us either way Rory thanks for the information.Sorry I disappeared,I had to help my kid with some homework.I here you Caz,I could probably change this chart every two days[] if more people would get invovled.It would be nice to see a bunch Of Turlington bottles posted here.
