(American Flag) / New York / Hop / Bitters / Company. No Base Mark. Spirits Bitters Applied top. Aqua. 26 oz. 248 mm. 1880s
Excellent. Oiled internally, we are unsure why as there is no evidence of any haze. Couple of tiny lip splits from making. Discoloured surface scratch to right hand side. Smaller one to rear. Several shallow open bubbles or surface bubbles, none are deep. Small amount of surface grime near base. Some fine surface scratches. Embossing is superb, the flag does have an open bubble on it which has a flake along the edge of it. The best part about this bottle are the large number of airbubbles, in varying sizes. A great looking piece, this is the larger of the two sizes available. Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $150 - 200
