If this was a more traditional form of broadcasting,
I'd say something oh so clever like;
This is the part where we pay the bills.

This first block of text will be pretty much the same
through all my listings, so it's a one and done thing.

I am, by way of introduction, your friendly neighborhood bottle digger.
Ebay provides a great way to make a few bucks,
for all those treasures that I just don't have room for.
I have a small and hard-fought collection of Maine bottles,
for they are my kryptonite.

High-quality photos with honest and accurate descriptions are
a total point of pride for me, check my feedback,
relax and bid or buy with confidence.

ALL items are 100% guaranteed to be as depicted and described.
In the unlikely event you find yourself dissatisfied for any reason,
I offer a 14 day return period, just return the item,
and I will promptly refund the full purchase price AND shipping.

When shipping glass, there's nothing like Priority.
Parcel rates are only 15% lower, and with Priority Mail
(actually carried between zones by FedEx)
you'll get FREE USPS delivery confirmation AND Insurance.

Shipping is another point of pride for me
(trust me, there's lots of them)

Buyers will NEVER pay more than actual shipping charges,
and multiple purchases will gladly be combined for your best shipping deal.

Glass will ALWAYS be shipped with more
than adequate bubble-wrap and loose-fill.
I've been shipping bottles for 2 decades,
I HOPE I've got it down by now.

PLEASE feel free to contact me with ANY and all questions.
I won't ignore your requests and will always answer as soon as possible.
Too bad more sellers weren't like this.

This is an excavated specimen, that's got
a bit of weirdness on one shoulder,
which I'm pretty sure is manufacture marks,
as there's no roughness or sharp-edges.
This is shot clearly in the larger than life pix
(Unless you're looking at this on a phone)
NO chips, cracks or other damage,
sparkles and displays fantastic.

It's a medium teal, circa 1870's, standing a
thick and heavy, 7 & 1/4 inches, mold-blown
by hand with a hand-applied lip
in what's commonly refered to as
The Twitchell Style, due to the fact that this
very company was the first one to use this type
of lip, and pretty much kept it for decades.
Over the years a few other vendors in other
states adopted this type top,
though never in large numbers.

Lip is full of pebbly shiver lines.
There's a long stretched bubble in the neck.

The neck is covered in great long, well-defined
vertical stretch-marks.

There's different sized bubbles throughout.
The base has some cool and crude texture.

There's crude surface texture as well.

It's embossed identically on both sides:

TWITCHELL
T
PHILAD^A.

A nicely colored squat soda, totally displayable,
rationally priced or low starting bid,
never a reserve, and you'll never pay more than actual shipping,
which includes FREE USPS Delivery Confirmation, AND Insurance.

THANK YOU sincerely for your time!
