| 1. "F. BROWN / DRUGGIST / COR. CHEST & 5TH ST / PHILADA", American, ca. 1840 - 1860, emerald green, 7 1/2"h, open pontil, applied tapered collar mouth. Two in-making pontil cracks, each about 3/4" in length extend from either side of the pontil, a common occurrence on bottles having as deep a kick-up as this bottle has. Its brilliant green, highly whittled glass and form makes it one of the most eye appealing bottles in the auction.
