W.J. Sedberry Jefferson Tex.
Circa 1890s. An extremely rare coffin flask from the great state of Texas. No only is it rare, but it has a graphic of peach embossed on the bottle! There appears to be a potstone right in the middle of the peach with an associated crack as well as some faint exterior wear, patchy interior stain, and a tiny 1/16" bruise on the lip. The potstone area glows under blacklight so we believe that the San Francisco Bay dump the bottle was resting in may have contained chemicals that penetrated the glass. A total mystery, but that's the best we can come up with.
