ITEM 6834. "DR. CURTIS'
- INHALING / HYGEAN VAPOR - NEW YORK," (Greer #446), amethystine,
rectangular, huge tubular pontil scar, 7 ¼"H, applied
collar with ring, mint. American, C. 1850, scarce.
Boldly embossed and decidedly "pinkish," this attractive
medicine is as fine an example of its type as we have encountered.
The bottle is attic perfect and the base sports an astounding
"doughnut-type" tubular pontil scar that causes the
bottle to lean noticeably when standing (while remaining stable
for display). A thread of olive green glass in the applied mouth
adds further charm to this already very attractive piece of early
glass.
