THIS IS A RARE VINTAGE 9 1/2 INCH GREEN GLASS BOTTLE WITH UNUSUAL SWING TOP METAL STOPPER. THE BOTTLE IS POSSIBLY HAND BLOWN INTO A MOLD BECAUSE THE BOTTLE HAS SEAMS ON BOTH SIDES FROM THE MOLD. THE GLASS HAS BUBBLES AND IMPROFECTIONS CREATED DURING THIS PROCESS.
THE BOTTLE WAS PROBABLY USED IN A DRUG STORE, OR SOME OTHER BUSINESS, FOR STORAGE OF VARIOUS LIQUIDS BECAUSE THE BOTTLE IS MARKED ON THE BACK "THIS BOTTLE IS NOT TO BE SOLD" AND THE FRONT HAS A PLACE TO PUT A PAPER LABEL.
CONDITION IS VERY GOOD IN MY OPINION. USUALLY, THE METAL SWING TOP HAS BEEN DAMAGED, BROKEN OR BADLY RUSTED. PICTURED AS FOUND.
PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS.
