Description: Offered for sale is a 7 ½-inch-tall mineral water embossed with “P. Conway / Bottler / Philada. // No. 8 Hunter St. / & / 108 Filbert St. / Mineral Water.” Bottle has been nicely tumbled. It has a gorgeous cobalt blue color, an applied blob top, and an iron pontil base with some iron remaining. There are no cracks, chips, or bruises, but there is some exterior case wear. Some people seem to think that the top has been replaced, but I assure you it hasn’t. I soaked it up-side-down overnight in acetone, which would have dissolved the top if it were anything but glass. I also checked it with a blacklight and it passed that test too. The reason the top is a darker blue color than the rest of the bottle is because the body of the bottle was stretched when it was blown which made the top half of the bottle look lighter blue. The change in color from base to top can be seen in photo #9. The applied top was taken from the pot of glass which was dark. This top is original. I guarantee it! Embossing is strong and glass is very clean. A gorgeous 1850’s specimen! Please check all photos before purchasing. I offer a full, money back guarantee including freight on everything I sell if you think it isn’t as described. Please click on “See other items” to check out everything else I sell.
