RE: ?? About bottle spiders and webbing on it? - 1/20/2006 9:40:50 PM    NYCFlasks   Posts: 102 Joined: 9/11/2005 Status: offline Judging by the pictures, what you have is a whiskey bottle or flask. Brand was most likely "Old Cobweb", hence the spider web design. The base embossing is for Trade Mark Registered U. S Patent Office. There is a funny symbol, sort of a diamond with a "O" on the side of the base, this is for Owens Illinois Glasss, maker of the bottle. The Non Refillable dates the bottle to after Prohibiton, unsure of the exact date. You may find some numbers/letters embossed on the base which seem to make no sence, these maybe mold/plant/date codes which would give an idea when the mold was cut. You would most likely find these in the area around the odd diamond/circle mark on the base. This bottle is seen from time to time on eBay. Hope this is of some help.

RE: ?? About bottle spiders and webbing on it? - 1/21/2006 8:09:36 AM    barbieheid   Posts: 127 Joined: 12/23/2005 Status: offline Gee, I think I can actually help with a question instead of bombarding everyone with them! I was lucky enough to get one with all it's labels on it. The label that would have been on the front [spider side] reads, "Antique [the word antique in quote marks], then Spiritus Frumenti, 100 proof, an alcoholic stimulant made from the fermented mash of grain." Below that, at the bottom, "aged in wood." The rear side says, "Whiskey Antique, spring 1913, [pint size] 100 proof. The Frankfort Distillery. Incorporated, distrib. number 35, Dist. of Kentucky by John B. Thompson." Below that is a caution letter paper label printed so small it's hard to read, and mine has the name and proof on each shoulder. The former writer is right, they do turn up on ebay often - I have gotton pints without labels, but my 1/4 has all of them. Hope this helps. _____________________________ Barbie >^,,^< (in reply to NYCFlasks) Post #: 8
