Lots going for this bottle - crisp embossing, character-rich, and light blue colored. The photo below shows the bottle in a deeper color than it really is. Check all photos below.

Dr Keyser's Pectoral Syrup, Pittsburg - Crude Civil War Period Medicine in Ice Blue

This bottle just missed being pontiled. It was blown in a keyed mold and has lots of crude features such as having a wobbly bottom, sharply beveled corners and shoulders, glass whittle and stretch marks. Civil War era. Nice color too.

Embossing - the use of a comma rather than an apostrophe is not a typo DR KEYSER,S // PECTORAL / SYRUP // PITTSBURG PA
Color ice blue with only hints of aqua (compare in group pic below)
Height 6 1/8"
Top crude applied taper
Base Key mold cross seam

Structural Condition

Near mint - structurally perfect with no chips, cracks, bruises etc. Mentioned for accuracy is a teeny lip nip that is likely a manufacturing flaw since there is an associated teeny potstone. No harm.

Surface Condition

Excellent - super clean and hardly any wear. This may have been polish cleaned at one point, and if so they did a super job.
