A pint-sized Civil War period case gin with a very crude applied top that is off center and saggy. This really should be pontiled but just missed or is eroded. There are some interesting stretch lines and waviness in the glass. Slightly concave side panels - looks very early. Never tumble cleaned, natural patina.
