Made approximately between 1905 and 1915, this bottle sits at the fascinating intersection of two eras: the mold seams tell you machine-made glass production had arrived, but the cork closure tells you the industry hadn't fully let go of its handcraft roots yet. Glass bubbles are visible — entirely normal, and exactly what you want to see in a bottle of this age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSharp \u0026amp; Dohme was founded in Baltimore in 1860 and became one of America's most respected pharmaceutical manufacturers, eventually merging with Merck in 1953. A bottle marked with their name carries genuine American industrial history. Not cleaned — the patina of old glass is part of what makes these worth keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA wonderful display piece — a vase for dried botanicals, a vessel for pennies or keys, or the anchor of a curated apothecary-style shelf. A meaningful gift for a bottle collector, a history enthusiast, or anyone who loves objects with provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sharp \u0026amp; Dohme, Baltimore, MD; marked \"S\u0026amp;D 38\" on base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large apothecary \/ pharmaceutical bottle, cork closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber glass; machine-made with mold seams; glass bubbles present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.25\" tall, approx. 5.0\" diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1905–1915\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good antique condition; no chips or scratches; glass bubbles present (period-correct); not cleaned.
