    Description

    For your consideration; an A. McFarland squat soda form iron-pontiled bottle.  It was hand blown in green glass batch in a two-part private mold and finished with an applied blob lip in the 1850's.  This was recovered for a Philadelphia privy excavation in the last year.  It is in great dug condition with no damage at all.  Lovely conical-type (typical push-up form for the McFarland bottles) indent in the base shows a "frosted" improved pontil scar with no residue.  "Registered According to Law" -embossed on the reverse body.  The bottle shows use wear and some light interior haze.  Some light ice pick gouging inside the neck and micro-pings over the exterior surface as seen in the images.  Structurally perfect and displays well.  Cleaned only with soap and water.  A very nice classic Phila soda bottle.  It measures: 7 1/4" x 2 5/8"+.
