That's a nice find

I think the 'not to be sold' brings it into the 1880s, most of the tall blobs had that on the backs too... That's a really cool find!! Been a few years since I found some good older glass like that! Congrats, and hope you look and find more there!!!

Yup I agree. Just wanted to see since the older soda's are iron-pontiled (which yours is not). Used to dig a lot of this type of soda's in privies. There are many local varieties and the most common color is aqua like yours. Congrats on a nice find.

Nice bottle, funny, last week while I was mixing in potting soil to my garden soil I saw a "rock" come out of the Miracle Gro Potting Soil bag and picked it up to discover it was a stopper for a blob type beer or possibly a soda bottle. It would be nice to find a bottle to match the top up with! Looks like that company must make their Potting soil from Philly trash.

Love those aqua blobs and how neat that just wandering around in the woods you found such a neat bottle.
