| An unusual, vintage 19th century 9-1/2" tall drugstore or general store heavy bottom bottle with an acid etched label. The fancy etched label states I. MERKEL & SON. SARANAC LAKE, N.Y., it has a neck with collar and a 3/4" thick pedestal style base, probably for stability when on display in a druggist or chemist shop. Merkel had an early bottling plant in Saranac Lake, and later opened a department store. This is the only etched Merkel bottle we've encountered - the rest have been labelled (soda, etc.) and all are embossed. This bottle is in excellent original condition with no chips, cracks, losses, damage or repairs - there are numerous tiny fisheyes (none can be felt on the outside of the bottle), some minor soiling which we haven't attempted to clean, and moderate surface abrasions and surface scratches as well as the expected wear on the bottom from use. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are vintage or antique and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping to the continental U.S. starts at $19 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $95 if paid with a credit card. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. PLEASE NOTE: we DO NOT accept PayPal. | ||||||||
