The lid reads A STONE & Co, PHILADA with the last A raised & underscored. Internal threads on jar neck for threaded glass stopper. Stopper has glass bosses with a hollow center. Top of stopper has the two glass bosses so a wrench could be used to aid in opening the jar. This bottle is in excellent condition for its age. It is a pint size measuring 6 1/4" tall x 3 1/2" in diameter. The base has what is called a "kick-up". The jar is aqua in color.
