This soda is the 1859 dated version of this Ryan. It has better embossing than is usualy found on this bottle. The base looks like a worn iron pontil, but it doesn't have any residue and is iffy.

Condition: Excellent - perfect structurally (no dings, chips, cracks). But it does have some overall wear and light dullness haze that would polish clean if desired. A decent undamaged example with a good mold impression.
