The Indians Panacea

[sandchip]

Here's one that I finally put on the shelf after first seeing it about 30 years ago. Fairly rare, with a few examples out there, but I wanted this specific example. It's as crude as I've seen in any embossed mold blown bottle. No etching or staining. What you see is thousands of tiny bubbles giving it that appearance. Dates to the 1830s, possibly the late 1820s.

Heck. Yeah. Right. On!

'Saw one of these online a few years ago, it had a matte appearance and was more amber than green. I love the embossing, and the blank tombstone spot on the reverse. BEAUTIFUL early bottle. Double check those shelf supports, haha. Congrats, 'Chip!

I failed to mention that early newspaper ads point to The Indians Panacea being a Charleston, SC bottle. Thanks for all the comments.

That is an amazing bottle, love to color and texture.

Was that a personal find? if so in what context?

Thanks, and no, I can only wish I had found it.
