Circa 1870 Medicine - Faxon Clarke's Great Russian Specific - Philadelphia

This is a rectangular paneled medicine that is very uncommon. It was dug in a Philly privy in late 2021. It has an applied ring top and is embossed on 3 panels. Although it has swirl etch, the natural opalescent patina is also pretty cool.

Embossed: FAXON CLARKE & CO // GREAT RUSSIAN SPECIFIC // PHILADELPHIA

Height: 7 7/8"
Color: aqua

Condition: perfect structurally with no chips, dings, or cracks. It's a dug, uncleaned bottle with overall swirl etch, but the irridescence in the swirling is really pleasing. Only other issue is that the embossing on the front panel is weak.

Reference Number: Y556

Price: $28
