Antique bottle
« on: May 03, 2016, 04:32:19 pm »
 I've researched this bottle already, but I just wanted to share because it's rare. Someone offered to buy it, but not for sale. The bottle was dug up at 15th and Lombard Sts. The bottle is from 1860-70. Pharmaceutical bottles was rarely done in cobalt blue. The bottle is embossed "Henry Cramer, 320 Race St., Philada. I was excited with this one. Buried treasure.

I talked to Matt Knapp. You can check out his web site. He has 1,000's of pharmaceutical bottles. I found him through antique bottles.net. Mine is not listed. That's how I got referred to him. He helped me research it.
