#3701 CD 158.2 BOSTON BOTTLE WORKS. PATENT APLD FOR Aqua.
Four segmented threads. Hex shaped dome.
Produced during the 1870’s by the Boston Bottle Works in Somerville, Massachusetts, using Samuel Oakman's patented process for forming threads in glass. Oakman received two patents in October, 1872 for collapsible plungers used in the manufacture of glass insulators which resulted in segmented threading.
Fairly large embossing on the base of the inner skirt is perfectly intact.
The very lower portion of one segmented thread is nicked. Upper wire ridge has a couple inconspicuous bruises (smaller than pinkie nail and pencil eraser diameter. Only damage worth actually mentioning is a chip on the lower wire ridge. See second and third images, which are the same photo. The third image has the chip marked with white dots.
Overall, pretty decent condition for this damage prone style, and the strong, fully intact embossing is quite nice.
