The bottle is 10 inches high, looks like it has an applies lip, the seam Hmmm, I can't seem to find one? but it also has a name embossed on the back I'm thinking it is Carl Mampe.

Most Carl Mampe bottles have the elephant and his name embossed on them and sell for $20 to $50 depending on it's size shape and color. I cant give you a price because I have never seen one with a label. I bet you had to be realy hard up to drink caraway flavored gin. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to merbiker) Post #: 4

Does it have alcohol in it? ... no problem for this ol' sailor. I drank D'absinthe overseas and it has anise in it. < Message edited by walkingstick -- 3/25/2006 6:27:54 PM > _____________________________ Wil Grolsch bottles ... oh yeah, I know them well.
