For sale we have a rare rich bright seven up green Old Dr J. Townsends Sarsaparilla New York medicine bottle. The color is a nice rich bright seven up green that is consistent throughout the entire bottle and a little darker in the thick parts of the glass. The bottle is a great window bottle and looks great in the sunlight. The bottle is in nice untouched original condition and has not been dug nor cleaned. The bottle has a smooth base and we date it to the late1870's. The top has a nice crude tapered applied lip and the base has a slight whittled kick up. The embossing is decent and very legible. We have not seen this Dr. Townsends variant in this color. The bottle has some bubbles and a crudity for a smooth base example. The bottle is large and the height is approx. 9 7/8". The condition is nice with no chips, cracks, deep scratches or scuffs and no alterations. We only see a very small paper thin open bubble above the L in Old which we pictured and some spotty inside content haze seen when held to strong light. There is some light spotty outer base usage wear also present. Overall this is a nice example in a unusual coloration in very nice untouched original condition. We will give free shipping and insurance on this medicine bottle.Thanks for viewing our auctions and any questions please ask. We like to note that we give free insurance on any item that requires it and we never charge a handling fee.
