Circa 1865-1870 Lyon's Powder - B & P New York

Here is an unusual colored example of this popular poison bottle. It's smooth-based but looks to be Civil War era or just after. The top is hand tooled simple flare.

Embossed: B & P / N. Y. // LYON'S / POWDER

Height:  4 1/2" 

Color: light grassy olive green

Condition: would be mint except the lip has a very small and smoothed 1/8" nip. The nip looks to be annealed and may have been from manufacturing. This is mentioned for total accuracy since it doesn't detract. Othewise, very clean and the embossing is good.

Reference Number:  GW222

Price: $67
