C. Jones "Improved"

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1850 Taper Top Soda Cornelius Jones "Improved" Variant - Philadelphia

Rarely seen for sale, this is the scarcest of the green Jones sodas from Philly. It took me 30 years to find one whole. This one is a dug example with some overall wear and stain but there are no structural issues. Iron pontiled bottom and an applied taper top. .

Embossed: C. JONES / MINERAL WATERS / PHILAD.A // IMPROVED / J (filled block letter)

Height: 7 1/2" 
Color: deep green

Condition: an uncleaned bottle in its original natural, dug state, meaning it has patchy privy stain and overall light wear especially to high points. But it is structurally perfect and could be polish cleaned is desired. As is usual for the Jones bottles, the embossing is not that crisp just FYI. Priced down because of the raw state.

Reference Number:  BT19

Price: $250
