Appraisal complete
Description

This purple bottle is free of cracks, free of chips, and is in excellent condition. Contains raised lettering as indicated above.  The top is threaded and is somewhat lighter shade of purple than the body as if the cap was still on for a period of time.  There are casting markes up both sides, and a few bubbles here and there as was common back then.  I may sell depending upon the appraisal
