Headless Circa 1850-1855 Pontiled Slug Plate Squat - E & S, Philadelphia
I dug this a long time ago and it was in my collection until I finally got a whole one. Pretty rare. It has an applied double taper top, and a sweet pontil. This can serve as an example for the Philly name collector, or could be a repair or drinking glass project.
Embossed in slug plate: (star on shoulder) / E & S / PHILAD.A
Height: 6 7/8"
Color: light teal green
Condition: the break is clean from the shoulder up, leaving about 1/4 of the neck all the way to the lip. Other than that, it has a small ding off the heel underneath, patchy stain, and spotty wear.
Reference Number: 2762
