This very nice small (4" tall) open pontil linament bottle was just recovered from a downtown Vicksburg creek. It's embossed "NERVE & BONE/LINAMENT,"and is in perfect condition. The pontil scar is ragged (bottle collectors love 'em), and crude mold seams are evident on opposite sides. The lip is flared and very thin. There are some dark areas in the pontil scar, possibly evidence of the use of an iron pontil, or possibly merely dirt.
