MN1. "C. BRINCKERHOFF'S - HEALTH RESTORATIVE - NEW YORK - PRICE $1.00", bright olive green, rectangular with beveled edges, pontil scar, 7 5/16"H x 3 1/8"W x 2 1/8"D, applied sloping collar, mint. American, 1830-1850, scarce.

As is common to bottles blown in the Brinckerhoff's mold, this fine, early medicine is weakly embossed (though it should be noted that the embossing is stronger than indicated…) but the bottle is otherwise PERFECT and the piece remains a far better than average example of a desirable colored pontil medicine. The bottle is exceptionally crude and heavy, with swirls of bubbles cascading throughout the dense olive green glass. The heavily whittled and "attic fresh" surface is a delight to the eye, as is the bottle's heavier than normal mouth treatment. There is NO damage to the piece whatsoever and as shown, there are two bands of color moving across the embossing that lend the bottle a "two-tone" appearance. This is truly a fine example of a bottle collecting "classic" and we are pleased to offer the piece with our very highest recommendations!
