A.W. CUDWORTH & CO. SAN FRANCISCO in slugplate.

A.W. CUDWORTH & CO. SAN FRANCISCO in slugplate. Smooth base. 1856-61. As discussed in Markota, this is a bottle that comes in aqua and greens. There is another example that doesn't have the S.F. Although Peck points out that aqua is the common color, we see many more in green than aqua. This example is as nice an aqua variant as we've seen. Very rarely do you see a bottle (soda) with virtually no wear and have that "just made" look. Here it is. Maybe the best Cudworth in any color we've seen. Grade: Never cleaned, there is just a little very light scratching and a couple areas of wear but generally a 9.
