TWO (2) TURN OF THE CENTURY VINTAGE APOTHECARY BOTTLES (Images 1-3). These rectangular, pastel shade Amethyst & Gray, apothecary bottles have an "off center" bottle side seam, air bubbles in their glass (from being blown in mold)& are in Very Good to Excellent Condition ... there is one flash crack in the neck(~.4")& 1 Flash - hairline crack(~.75")on the top of the Amethyst Bottle's face. The Gray Apothecary Bottle has a pin head sized rust spot inside the gray bottle & a ping at the top of it's back. BOTH Medicine Bottles are EMBOSSED on 1 SIDE ... the FRONT, with "WHITTEMORE BOSTON U.S.A."; as well as with "5 FLUID OZ." The Pastel Gray colored bottle is slightly older than the Amethyst medicine bottle. The TWO (2) main differences between these 2 vintage bottles are their COLORS & their PONTILS. The Gray bottle's pontil is roughly one third larger than the Amethyst Bottle & is more crudely made ... it overlaps onto the front of the bottle base (~.25"). The Gray Medicine Bottle has a "1" in it's center; whereas,the Amethyst Bottle's pontil is smaller and has a "6" in it's center (Image 4). These numbers are likely the Glass Mold Numbers for each bottle ... again, indicating relative age of the two bottles. Each bottle's DIMENSIONS: 5.25" X 2.25" X 1.10" WEIGHT: 7.8 oz. These vintage medicine bottles make great vases and powder (bathroom) accessories. Add a nice touch for gift giving with a Silk Flower Pen. These pens are pretty & practical. Tasha's has Posy Pen's available ...
