Comments/description: Incredible example of this early blob top with excellent paper label and the bail and stopper in place. Note the bottler, W. Ashton Horn on the label with the bottle embossed as by Reynolds & Ball of Boston. Small tear out of the top right edge, otherwise in excellent condition with great color. Foxing and a wrinkle on the left edge. Incredible find! All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
