DescriptionThis object is a blue-colored molded glass bottle. It has a oval-shaped base and a pronounced shoulder that connects the relatively narrow, short neck to the body of the object. One one side of the object, a raised image of an eagle with a ribbon in its mouth sitting atop a shield is visible on the front of the glass. Olive branch designs line the sides of the raised image. The reverse side has a raised glass image of two hands shaking, with text reading "UNION" above. Similar olive branches and stars line this image as well. Small air bubbles and impurities can be seen from within the glass material. The object is in good physical condition. The image has been moderately eroded over time.
