E.K.THOMPSON//DRUGGIST//TITUSVILLE PA. RARE COBALT BLUE

Here's a ying and a yang bottle from the Historic Oil District/Region. The ying is ...it's probably one of the harder to find and desirable medicinals to come out of the Oil Region...the yang is ...the bottom has a crack around the perimeter of the base (see photo) Very deep cobalt blue in color. 8 1/8 inches HT. x 2 1/2 inches SQ. This bottle was dug over 30 years ago near Pithole City, which is now a ghost town. It is near Franklin, PA., Pleasantville, PA. and Oil City, PA. Bottle displays fine. There is a site marking on the bottle so as to provience the found location. Bottle is crude and extremely hard to find. As always there is no-reserves in the auction. Stay tuned for more bottles from my collection. Thanks for looking.

After a closer examination of the crack at the base of this bottle I have discovered that the crack is extending from the base,  up the side on the very edge of one of the panels then extends accross the top of the end panel. Missed it because it blends so well with the side edge of the bottle. FYI bidders.
