HEISS Block Letter Pontiled Philly Soda
I had this bottle in my Philly collection for at least 15 years before seeing another come up for sale that was an upgrade. It's VERY hard to find. It would be near attic mint if not for a big open bubble (see below.) It has a pontiled base (heavy frosting, not much residue), circa 1850, and an applied blob top. See all pics please.
Embossed: W. HEISS (wrap around open block letters)
Height: 7 1/2".
Color: teal green
Condition: This has a 1 1/4" open bubble in the shoulder above the embossing, but except for that it is near mint with just spotty light wear.
Reference Number: X402
