Once in a blue moon a late privy will turn out a rare bottle, and this certainly meets the criteria. This mold is extremely rare, with maybe 3 in existence that I am aware of. For a toolie the bottle is quite crude, with slumped in body, heavily whittled, and weird mold plates.[8D]

ORIGINAL: JOETHECROW

The embossing looks like it's in slug plates....Also what's up with the letters on the shoulder of the bottle? Nice find.
Joe, all I can figure is that the "W"s on opposing shoulders stand for Web. There are earlier and later Web's molds, but so few like this example.
Most are common and bring $40, or so. Another rarity is what must be the last type, a half sized triangle shaped bottle. When you put two of them back
to back they form a square of normal size. That is how they were sold, two per box. I owned a pair but sold one due to pressure from another collector.

Cool bottle I thought it was a Dr Hott at first. TOC pits gave me 2 of my best (strange) bottles.
