In the light , it's shrivelled with whittley wrinkles. Very early heavy style embossing.  I would guess this is the earliest cobalt Ca drug store bottle, as this is an 1860s (early 1870s at the latest) bottle.   It measures 5 1/2" tall to where the top is missing. It would need to be repaired where the neck joins the shldr or just left as-is.  There is no other damage. It has an iredescent patina on the outside and a little washable dirt spots on the inside. An extremely rare Cal medicine bottle. Winner to pay 6. shipping and pay by check or m.o. On Sep-01-08 at 15:51:05 PDT, seller added the following information: Place a Bid!
