THIS IS A TOUGH TO FIND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MONOGRAM PICTORIAL VARIETY...IT IS LIGHT PURPLE COLOR, NEVER REALLY BEEN IN SUN....AND A NICE UNCLEANED SPECIMEN....HOPING YOU CAN TELL HOW NICE THIS ONE IS FROM MY AVERAGE PICTURE TAKING ABILITY :)...THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL BOTTLE.....CRISP EMBOSSING, AND JUST A BEAUTY
ORIGINAL OWNER CONSIDERED THIS STYLE MERCHANT BOTTLE "SCRACE".., AND HE WOULD KNOW....HE WAS THE AUTHOR OF THE CAL DRUG CATALOG
IF YOU LOOK AT IMAGE #4 YOU CAN SEE THE 1878 PATENT DATE ON THE BASE
The scenic town of LOS ANGELES is located in LOS ANGELES County....now thats a coincidence.
The bottle is what I would call light clear to purple colored glass, it is a medium sized, and stands about 5" tall ...and it is a very beautiful specimen, just has not been cleaned at all but glass is great.
, neat bottle. Crisp embossing on this one...never in sun, would likely turn purple
Gallery pictures should show you all you need to know, took pictures from many angles. (see gallery pictures)
