1872 / (Hop leaves and berries) // Dr Soule (S is reversed) // Hop // Bitters. Base: B. Spirits Bitters Square section, semi cabin shape with indented panels to all sides and shoulders. Applied double collar top. Very dark chocolate amber. 24 oz. 233 mm. 1880s-1890s
Very Good. Bottle has stain over about three-quarters of its surface. Scratches and scuffs also to be found spread over the surface along with a couple of spots of rust. Embossing is quite weak. Some internal stain can be seen but is hard to know its full extent due to the very dark colour of the glass. Some shallow open surface bubbles as you often see with these. Reasonably solid example that really needs a tumble or similar to bring out its best. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $20 - 30
