Payment DEEP GREEN SQUAT Hand Blown Early American Soda Bottle Click to View Image Album   Click to View Image Album   Click to View Image Album Click to View Image Album Recently culled from a historic Northeastern United States excavation.  This dark green squat soda bottle is embossed with only "TWITCHELL"  and "PHILADA" and is the uncommon variant ---the vast majority of these bottles did not include the capital "T" mongram and many versions were only embossed on a single side. Note the sloppy, irregularly applied top --- prominent tooling marks, lots of wrinkles and so forth ---this is what hand-blown glass is all about; lending this piece strong character.  The mold seams provide a clear indication of having been hand-blown into a two-piece mold and the base is smooth, it probably just missed the pontil rod.  Probably from the late 1860s or early 1870s. Measures about 7.5" high.    Presented in 'as found' condition; interior does show content residue and exterior shows typical light wear consisting of light scuffs (abrasions and so forth; flea bites here and there) that we considerable negligible and easily dismissed.   An evening spent in the tumbler will allow this jewel to truly shine!  No chips, cracks, dings or bruises. A very attractive addition to the discriminating enthusiast's permanent collection.  Probably held beer or soda at one time; or possibly mineral water.    A very attractive collection of hand-blown American glass can be assembled over the course of a couple of years, for a relatively modest investment. High bidder agrees that effective padding, packing and shipping shall be limited to only nine dollars, throughout the United States ---but that price INCLUDES INSURANCE...!!!  Continue reading for additional details. Be sure to take the time and browse our other listings. After several years of offering quality antiques in a traditional retail format, we have finally expanded our sales venues to include eBay and will continue to offer the same courteous, professional service that our previously established clients have come to expect! We include some of the best photographs and try to provide an accurate descriptive narrative for every item we sell; since the overwhelming majority of the items we list do have significant age, they typically show light signs of natural uniform wear that may include (but not limited to) light scuffs, abrasions, toning and so forth ---things we consider to be genuinely negligible, since it's impossible to itemize every subtle flaw, on every single item. Besides, one person's interpretation of condition can vary greatly from another's presumption. We may be relatively new to eBay, but we are serious: please do not place a bid if you do not intend to pay; placing a bid is the equivilent of signing a contract. It should be noted that every item we auction is sold in "as is" condition; just like a real, live auction. Some items may take four to six weeks to be received; if you are unsure about shipping an item, email us for quick quotes and carrier reccommendations. Auction participants acknowledge to having read, understood and agreed to these terms. If you have any questions or comments, please take a moment to contact us and one of our representatives will get right back to you! Unlike many of our competitors, if you see something you like, just email us! We entertain best offers; we add "Buy It Now" prices to items and practically 'jump' at the chance to end an auction early, for a customer!
