1850's Ornate Bottle ID Civil/Indian War Era

[2screwed]

It is a very nice bottle. While glass from the 1850s may not seem that old for the rest of the country here in the PNW I would consider it very early. That is just my opinion of course but having lived and dug in the PNW for the last 45 years and my memory being what it is I don't remember finding a bottle any older. Maybe some of my fellow Pacific Northwesterners could weigh in on this.

Ifyndit, if you don't mind me asking what state and what fort pit did you find this at? Don't answer if you don't feel comfortable (I don't want you to give away any secrets) but it might help us establish a country of origin and a better timeline for your bottle.
The buckle piece that you found has me leaning towards the Hudson Bay Company and English and could possibly push your bottle back a tad bit earlier.

My educated guess would be that it is a product sold by Xavier Bazin out of Philly, they produced all kinds of toiletries, here is the company history... https://www.peachridgeglass.com/2013/08/xavier-bazin-steam-fancy-soap-works-and-perfumery/

I think you nailed it! That would explain the X B on the bottle neck. I'll do some more research on this company and see if I can find a similar bottle posted somewhere.

Nicely done.....thanks for the link on the company!

Excellent job Jim
Just goes to show it doesn’t have to have a pontil scar to be a mid 19th century piece.
