Field notes

The listing records the bottle as approximately 11¼ inches tall, with a fluted shoulder and neck, a tooled sloping collared lip, and a smooth base. Its five embossed lines include “Maple Sap and Boiled Cider Vinegar,” “The C.I. Co. L’t’d,” and “East Rindge, N.H.” The seller describes the surface as original and uncleaned, notes seed bubbles and minor hand-finishing irregularities, and offers extra photographs before a final-sale transaction.
