This charming antique amber glass bottle is a classic example of early pharmaceutical packaging, likely used as an apothecary or medicine container. It features a rectangular body with slightly rounded edges, transitioning to a short, narrow neck with a simple rolled lip suitable for a cork stopper (not included). The amber color was commonly used to protect light-sensitive contents. The base is embossed with "WYETH" in raised lettering, accompanied by the number "16" (possibly indicating a mold number, capacity in drams, or catalog reference). Bubbles are visible throughout the glass, a hallmark of hand-blown or semi-hand-blown manufacturing techniques from the era, giving it authentic vintage character. The bottle is empty and label-free, allowing its clean lines and warm amber hue to shine. Ideal for display in a collection of antique glassware, pharmacy memorabilia, or as a rustic bud vase or decorative accent.

Origin: Produced by John Wyeth & Brother, a pioneering pharmaceutical company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Founded in 1860 by brothers John and Frank Wyeth, the firm specialized in medicines and tonics, eventually evolving into part of the modern Wyeth Laboratories (later acquired by Pfizer). Bottles like this were manufactured for distributing their products, often by contracted glassmakers in the region.

Age: Late 19th to early 20th century (approximately 1880-1920). The presence of bubbles (seeds) in the glass and the embossing style suggest it predates fully automated machine production, aligning with the hand-blown or mold-blown methods common before the 1920s.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition for its age. No chips, cracks, breaks, or repairs. Minor surface wear, light scratches, and patina consistent with over a century of existence. The interior is clean with no residue. Bubbles and minor imperfections in the glass are inherent to the manufacturing process and enhance its antique appeal. 

Material: Amber glass (colored to shield contents from UV light, a standard for medicinal bottles).
