Extremely Rare Bottle, Sadly It's Broken.

I found this circa 1840's Townshend's Sarsaparilla bottle today, I can not find this variety anywhere, so I think it might be very rare. Sadly it's broken, It was found on the surface in a 1950's dump, most likely a display item that broke, and was thrown away in the 1950's. Anyways, I think it's cool though.
Also, I checked for other pieces, and never found any.



Thanks for Looking, Coinman123

Too bad on the condition. At least you were able to ID it.

Very cool bottle, If it really is a rare one it may still have value in its current condition. Al tho all our finds sort of supersede value to ourselves that another may place on them lol

Just finding it and being able to date and ID it is cool. I find a few bottles in the water just like yours, most broken but still fun to research....

Very cool find, man if it were only whole. Actually Townsend's are not all that rare unless it is an unusual color variant .I dug several nice ones back in my privy digging days.
