Old OWL DRUG Co ERROR embossed bottle Gwl not Owl 2 oz

Description: A 4 1/8 inch tall rectangular-shaped clear-glass antique OWL DRUG CO pharmacy bottle. This is a very early hand Blown Into Mold bottle (BIM) with a tooled top, dating it back 100 years or so. Note that bottle is clearly embossed on back shoulder 'Gwl' not 'Owl'. Bottle embossed: "The Gwl Drug Co." on back shoulder, on front size is an embossed picture of an owl perched on a druggists' mortar, stirring a pestle. The mortar is embossed: "TODCo / TRADE MARK". (TODCo = The Owl Drug Co.) Condition: Bottle has age wear and cloudy white content stain. It has NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc. Age: An ORIGINAL ANTIQUE hand-blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled-top, ca. early 1900's. Shipping: FREE domestic shipping. We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate. If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time. In summary, there are different schools of thought on this Gwl bottle. On one hand this looks to be a blatant mistake. As such, it could be that the Owl Drug designer who made the error did it without catching the mistake and went on to register and patent this "Gwl" motif as the Owl Drug Co's Trade Mark, and the Gwl bottles were then produced from this design. This would partly explain it because even though these are scarce to find, these "Gwl" bottles come in nine different sizes and even in different styled bottles. Yet not only glass bottles, but we have also seen paper letterheads, paper labeled bottles, even old newspaper ads that likewise have the "Gwl" spelling of Owl. Therefore one of two conclusions have been reached: 1) That these were originally a mistake, as considered, and many of them were manufactured before the mistake was realized. In this scenario, they then went on to continue with the Gwl printing on other items as well, so that all of the advertising coming out at that time consistently had the Gwl printing so as to not cause consumer confusion, and to also make it look like no mistake had been made. 2) That these are not error bottles at all, that the "G" in "Owl" is actually a fancy Old English or Victorian style of the letter "O". Everyone has their own opinions yet look closely at the picture, the close up of the Gwl embossing, and then you decide. Whichever the case, these are scarce old Owl Drug bottles that are quite collectable on account of the Gwl embossing, check it out! Terms of Sale: Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.
