Description
c1860 Old Paris Apothecary Jars Eagle and Anchor for Mexican Market. These are<br>the most desirable motif on Old Paris apothecary jars that I know of. I've seen<br>them bring around 1k each on multiple occasions and have seen some marked on<br>underside "Drogueria Belga Mexico" verifying my statement. These are not stamped<br>like that. They are marked by the Manufacturer or retailer A. Collin Paris,<br>which seemed to be a retailer and/or manufacturer of Medical/pharmaceutical<br>equipment in the third quarter of the 19th century. These are 10.25" tall x 5<br>1/8" wide and they have no cracks, chips, or restorations. In fact they have the<br>cleanest gold I've ever seen on any mid 19th century French apothecary jars with<br>only minor wear to the gilding even on the lids which are always excessively<br>worn. Selling both jars shown.<br>issshelf
