    Description

    A
    3 7/8" tall
    rectangular-shaped
    amber-colored
    antique Owl Drug Co. bottle.
    Note that this bottle is
    embossed with the evenly centered 2 wing bird
    but it is the early hand

    old bottle (
    BIM
    ) with a tooled top.  It is a bottle that
    very few Owl Drug collectors own
    ,
    many don't even know about it
    ,
    and
    the first one that has ever
    been on eBay.
    Bottle has an embossed picture of an Owl perched on a druggist's mortar, stirring a pestle.  Mortar is embossed "
    TODCo
    ".   TODCo. stands for "
    T
    he
    O
    wl
    D
    rug
    Co
    ."    On the shoulder of the backside it is embossed in script, "
    The Owl Drug Co.
    "   In this instance, the first part of that embossing is very light, which is how everyone of them we've ever seen is, they all came out of this same mold
    .
    Condition
    :   This bottle is in excellent clean condition.  It has some very light wear and haze but NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc.  The first part of the embossing on the back shoulder is light, which is
    how everyone of them we've ever seen is
    .
    Age
    : A hand-blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled-top, ca. early
    1900's
    .
    Shipping
    :
    FREE
    domestic shipping.   We do ship International but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate.  If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates.  We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.
    We can account for maybe 3 or 4 of these bottles in collections today.  You rarely see amber Owl Drug Co bottles and you don't seen
    BIM amber bottles
    with this '
    2 winged owl
    ' that is evenly centered, displaying equal portions of both wings = 2 wings, a '2 winged owl' as it were.   The embossed 2 winged owls appear on later machine made bottles. In this instance, this bottle is a hand Blown Into Mold bottle (BIM), and it
    is about unique
    in the amber color.  It was possibly a prototype or transitional bottle from when the drug company was switching from the older 1 wing birds to the newer 2 wing birds, but no one really knows for sure.   You will
    not see one of these for sale again for a long, long time, if ever
