Circa 1865-1870 Orange Amber LYON's POWDER - B & P, New York

These classic poison bottles are so much fun to collect because they come in so many colors. This is a yellow-honey hued lighter amber. It has an applied ring top and smooth-based bottom.

Embossed: LYON'S / POWDER // B & P / N. Y.

Height: 4 1/2" 
Color: honey orange amber

Condition: perfect structurally with no chips, cracks or dings. It is a fresh dug bottle (July 2022) from a Civil War era privy layer in Philadelphia. So it has some patchy light stain and trace wear, but nice glowy patina.

Reference Number:  Y981

Price: $42
