MODERN / Fantasy / Whimsey Pontil Patent Medicine styled like an Antique Bottle:
$195.00

Up for sale is a really unusual oddball of a bottle. It resembles all of the nicest colored pontil medicines from early New England, and it\'s got a nice dark olive green color to match, with a crudely applied and tooled mouth, whittled glass texture, and a jagged pontil scar. It\'s embossed on its front panel, \"Dr. J\'s / *Indian head pictorial* / INDIAN / TONIC / & / ELIXERS\"... It\'s about 8 1/4\" tall.
As mentioned in the title, this is a fantasy bottle. It was created by bottle collectors FOR bottle collectors, to capture the spirit of what we all like about old bottles, and it sure does the job... The manufacturing skill to emulate an old blown glass bottle is almost scary. It looks great next to old glass and blends right in. It is undamaged (since it\'s new and was not \"used\" like a real one) and free from any wear, which makes it luckily a bit easier to tell apart from a real old bottle for the novice. I think it\'s a true conversation piece for the advanced collector who can appreciate just what an oddball piece it is. I am not sure who made it ultimately, and if anyone can shed some light, please feel free to share! :)
Satisfaction guaranteed, if you\'re not in love after handling it in person I\'m happy to accept returns. Shipped via USPS Priority Mail at buyer\'s expense, or pickup in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
