Stove Pipe 'Dickey' Pioneer 1850
1860s, tooled flared lip. This is the holy grail of the Dickey's bottles and is certainly the first mold that was briefly used in the late 1860s before they revised the mold into the more commonly seen variant. These are also known in a clear coloration, but no mint examples exist. This example has nice clean glass and quite a bit of whittle. There is a small chip on the edge of lip that was partially buffed, see photos.
