John C. Baker Citrate

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1865-1875 Philly Druggist - John C. Baker - Citrate of Magnesia

John Baker bottles are not uncommon, but I've never seen a citrate before. This one is also unusualy in that the applied top is a blob on top of a tapered collar. Smooth-based, but pretty early.

Color: deep aqua

Condition: nearest mint - perfect structurally with no chips, bruises, cracks or dings. Very clean. Just spotty trace wear. Really nice example.
