Boyle & McGlinn Philada PA amber squat rye whiskey bottle 1880s taper top blown

Description

For your consideration: a W. Boyle & J. McGlinn amber whiskey bottle from Philadelphia, PA.  It was blown in amber glass batch into a two-part private mold and finished with a tooled double-taper lip in the 1880's.  This was recovered from a Philadelphia privy excavation in the last year.  It is in very good dug condition with no damage at all.  Boyle & McGlinn were located at 145 & 147 So. Second St..  This bottle likely contained either their Clover Club or Rye Whiskey.  It shows glass grain across the surface - a result of having spent over 100 years in the ground.  Wonderful polychromatic patina.   Some small bubbles scattered throughout the glass.  It displays beautifully.  Lovely honey amber coloration.  It measures: 9 5/16" x 4 1/16".
