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

Price: $9
