Picked this up recently for next to nothing. Whittled and VERY bubbly with applied top. Was wondering if from the top and color and overall look if anyone could attribute it to any certain glass house. Not the best photos but I tried to take a pic in direct sun so you can see the color. Thanks in advance!

Lovely window bottle! My intuition tells me this bottle is not American-made, but I know no hard evidence. As I recall, some N.Y. glasshouses are known for red-amber glass.

Can't help on a glass house, but as Harry said, a beautiful bottle for the window.

Thanks for the input, Harry! As you guys suggested, guess it’ll just go in the window.

bottlehunterofcoscob!

Here's a current listing for a Westford Connecticut bottle that looks suuuuper similar to yours, almost identical. Right down to the two dots on the base!

EDIT: Forgot the link: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/SCARCE-WEST...lip-treatment-MINT-CONDITION-L-K/202683918685

That looks like an exact match, thanks! I was hoping this was a New England piece, but I haven’t the knowledge or experience to judge that seller’s evaluation. I’ll have to look into it a bit more.
