Commemorative bottle - Ben Franklin / George Washington style (1960s–1970s)

Mid-century Commemorative bottle (roughly 1960s–1970s)

·         “Colonial gentleman” / “soldier bust” bottle

·         Sometimes loosely marketed as Ben Franklin / George Washington style

Features that give it away:

·         Two-part mold seam (you can faintly see it along sides)

·         Uniform glass thickness

·         Applied-looking but actually molded lip

·         That fake pontil base

Bright cobalt blue color (very mid-20th century popular)
