W. Campbell & Co / Kingston / East (In Belt Design). Base mark: Pontil. (United Kingdom, Jamaica). Medicine. Pharmacy. Applied top with flared lip. Globular shape. Applied seal. Pontil. Cobalt. About 1/2 Gallon. About 212 mm. Mid 19th century
Excellent. (8). A bit of grime scattered around. Some inner haze and dirt, probably some form of fine contents residue stain. Usage wear under the heel. Some scratches and scuff marks. Making mark to seal. Embossing is very light and hard to read, however, this is a Campbell. We have sold two different larger examples, both with London on the seal, this one definitely says Kingston! Not much is known in the UK about these either, they are rarely seen over there, with only a few turning up in Germany of all places. I note that there was a Dr Wm Campbell in London in the 1820s-1830s, I wonder if this is related to him in any way? Regardless, an amazing item which will truly be a stand out in anyone's collection. Now the third example we have sold, all very different to each other. Estimate: $500-750
