    Description

    I am currently listing my better "bought" bottles from my collection, some of which I have had for decades. Listed here are two "ROBT/ TURLI/ NGTON/ FOR HIS/ INVENTED/ BALSAM/ OF LIFE/" on reverse and embossed on the face of each "BY THE KING'S ROYAL PATENT GRANTED TO" with the one on the right looking to be the older, crammed the lettering and screwed up Royal by adding an extra L to spell ROYALL! In addition they had to break up GRANTED and move the "ED"  below! Turning the bottles to the right they are embossed with different patent dates, one on right has earliest "JAN 26 1754" with a "Y" embossed above Jan as if they thought about it after the fact! Bottle on left is embossed "Jan 28 1779." They were not concerned this time about the missing Y for January! On the reverse they are both embossed as above ROBT TURLI/NGTON/ blabla  though both screwed something up. Bottle on left misspelled Balsam as Balsom! Bottle on right left off the IN part of INVENTED!  Both are 2 3/4" tall and the one on left may have had a pro cleaning as it is sparkling whereas the other one has some haze. Two very interesting studies in mold making goofs! If you are unhappy for any reason, you will have my standard guarantee of your satisfaction for any or no reason or full refund upon return. Also I will offer free shipping if you purchase three or more of my auction items and will combine where practical. Thanks for looking and keep watching for more as I continue to thin out my collection of 57 years. All reasonable offers considered.
