Dug in early 2018 in a Philly privy, this is a Civil war era quack medicine. Smooth based, but having a crude applied taper top and early style embossing in panels. Priced reasonable because this bottle has not been cleaned.
Embossed: N. L. CLARK & CO // PERUVIAN // SYRUP
Height: 8 3/4 "
Color: aqua
Condition: perfect structurally, no chips, dings, etc. But it is a raw dug bottle with overall stain, privy sheen and opalescence, and some swirl wear to polish up (if you want to - I prefer natural "old" look).
Reference Number: X1555
