Twedle's Celebrated Soda Or Mineral Water Courtland Street 38 New YORK

1840's medium green/teal iron pontiled soda or mineral water bottle manufactured for john tweddle jr. The low steep shoulders and long narrow neck are finished with an applied tapered blob top that exhibits allover whittling and some slop. Strong side seams run from base to neck, evidencing manufacture with a two-leaf mold. The front body is embossed "tweddle's/ celebrated / soda or mineral / waters", while the reverse reads, "courtland street / 38 / new york". The base has a moderate kickup with heavy residue from iron pontil.

Crudities are typical of its age and date of manufacture, including bubbles, surface scratches, and whittling. Overall the glass is nearly attic condition, appearing vibrant and free of haze.

According to city directories, tweddle operated at 38 courtland around 1845. The depth of the iron-pontiled base, surface wear and applied lip vary from one bottle to the next.
