It has been irradiated to give it its beautiful deep purple color (an artificial process that turns antique clear glass in a beautiful deep amethyst/purple colored glass, it is about the equivalent of decades of glass overexposure to the ultra violet rays of the sun; the manganese which is one of the key ingredients that they used to take to get clear glass prior to 1910 reacts and becomes dark amethyst/purple in color, actually very few bottles have manganese in them and most are over 100 years old. Please take note that the color is not flashed on the glass nor applied, it is derived from the natural chemicals in the glass.). It is marked on the shoulder "1914 – MICHEAL CONNOR – 569-573 ELM ST - Manchester, N.H.".   “32” is stamped on the base. Thank you and good luck.
