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 not an excavated specimen,
the closure would be a lot rougher, were it so.

There are absolute traces of wear
and a touch of content residue, right at the base.
NO chips, cracks or other damage whatsoever.

The rubber on the original closure is a bit
dried out and cracked
( at my age, I can relate)
but it's solid and all there
(ditto)

The embossing is ornate, and covers one full side.

Clear, circa 1895-1905, standing a heavy and tall
9 & 13/16ths inches, mold-blown by hand,
with a hand-tooled top and lip
in the crown style.

It's just starting to tint amethyst.
It's light, but enough to show you
under the right conditions, it'll keep going.

There's a cool spot on the neck, where
the tooling swept the seam out at an angle.
There's a great band of well-defined
circular hand-tooling lines.

There's some mar inside the lip.
There's some neat stretched bubbles
in the shoulder and neck,
a large bubble behind some of the embossing.

The base has some thick and thin slanting wave.
The seams are a bit crude.

There's a full NINE lines of bold embossing,
as well as a wreath of olive branches,
and a hand, holding a torch:
