Antique decanter??? - 4/23/2008 12:53:33 PM    richls1   Posts: 4 Joined: 4/23/2008 Status: offline Hello, Anyone have any info or history on this bottle and what it might be worth? It's about 12" high, no inscription anywheret, looks like pewter bands on it. It's been in my family for years, my mother is asking my sisters and I if anyone wants it. Figured I'd do some research before answering. Thanks, Rich Attachment (1) Post #: 1

It seems more of a decorative antique than a bottle. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 4/23/2008 1:29:24 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to richls1) Post #: 2

The bottom helps tell the story as it has a polished pontil.These finely ground & polished (dished out) pontils are typical on "better quality" decanters of that period.It may be American but is probably european>German/Bohem/Austria.
