As I recall, Rich Strunk had uncovered some info linking these bottles to both Mount Vernon and Mount Pleasant.

Not sure that I wrote this correctly as my little brain is remembering that Rich's info linked the bottles to Mount Vernon and not Mount Pleasant. I need to stop buying and selling so many different types of bottles - it makes me forget stuff[]

Sorry to say that I can't find my photos of the two ale bottles I sold many moons ago. Did find a pic of this beauty though....

It is a rare variation of a Rushton & Aspinwall bottle Joe. If only I could have kept 'em all - at one time I also owned a perfect Stoddard made Rushton & Aspinwall with the thin flared lip. Those bottles would have looked GREAT together...

WOW Jeff !!! that is a great looking bottle! I have seen the other varation you mention but not that one. What a georgeous piece of glass - whittle, character, everything!

that Rushton could very well be from Mt Vernon, but being an NYC firm they could have chosen from several glasshouses in NE, NY and Mid Atlantic. The top looks different from the MVG examples I have seen.

I agree - not saying that it "is" Mount Vernon but instead placing it in the growing "could be" pile. FWIW the bottle did not have the attributes of anything made in NH or CT so if not NY my sense is that it was made in the mid-Atlantic.
