1890s ROOSEVELT BEAR SEATED ON TRUNK READING BOOK HAND BLOWN WITH SHAKER LID

Description

Here's a scarce antique original figural bear reading a book bottle over 110 years old.....hand blown with original nickel plated cap with shaker holes! This could be a "Roosevelt" bear because it is similar to those bears used in early 1900 illustrations of Teddy Roosevelt and the bear he let go while hunting.This bear is sitting on a wood grain trunk while holding a book with 2 paws....he is wearing a top coat with bowtie and tails on back. The bottom of trunk is emb PAT.APL'D FOR .....Hand blown in 3 piece mold.....rough ground threaded lip ....clear....square....4 3/4"tall...Excellent condition with only some natural roughness & a couple chips on top of lip from when the blowpipe was snapped from the lip and lip was ground; no other chips or damage. A shiny clean bottle with no haze. This could have been some kind of flavored salt or spice bottle...or possibly a candy container that could have been reused as a salt shaker? I guarantee it is over 110 years old and was probably made in the 1890s ..
