DescriptionThis object is a molded, clear glass bottle with a circular body and a rectangular base. A subtle shoulder connects the body to the short neck at the top of the object. One side of the glass has a raised image of George Washington, with text surrounding the image reading: "GENERAL WASHINGTON." The opposite side of the object has a raised image of a bald eagle holding arrows and an olive branch in its talons. It stands on an oval-shaped label with interior initials reading: "T.W.D." While small air bubbles and other impurities are visible from within the glass material, the object is in good physical condition.
