Description: RareExcellent condition: no chips, no cracks, no dirt, no ghosting; Bright, clean, shiny example!Antique circa 1860sJ.W. Hunnewell - Boston7.5" TApplied top"Spice" bottle style; During the last half of the 19th century bottles shaped like that shown here were a dominant style/type used for various spices as well as other condiments and food products which would fit. These unusual 8-sided bottles have wide, concave front and back panels with flat narrow side panels bound together by relatively wide, concavely beveled corners. For some unexplained reason the western spice manufacturers had an affinity for a certain style bottle like no other place in the United States. The prototype bottle appears to be the slightly earlier J.W. HUNNEWELL & Co. bottle from Boston, Massachusetts. These bottles generally contained milled, or ground spices of all types. They were manufactured in San Francisco from the late 1860’s through the decade of the 1870’s. Except for the Marden & Folger and Bovee spice bottles, which are too old to have been made in California. This one from Hunnewell almost certainly held either relish or mustard of the day.I package well and ship out daily!
