Last post for the last day of summer!
And a new find for me, and possibly a new undocumented variation!
This is my first vertical Cross & Co bottle. I have here photos of a amethyst and aqua from VanCityRelics on Instagram. And diagrams of the two variations from a guide written by Gord March, thanks for those @Historical-Info-Service
So the first obvious difference is the color, second is the 8 inch hight, which I'm told these internal thread bottles had many hight variations.
The letters C is a more rounded type, and the R appears narrower than both, with a different angle than on the amethyst, but similar to the aqua.
The most prominent difference with the script is in Co, while both of the others the o is lowered to be flush with the bottom of the C. On this clear example the o is raised to be inline with the top of the C, and has an added - line under it.
