Was it with a bunch of  European bottles or maybe with some turn of the century American bottles or maybe it was all alone in a hole under the floor boards? This could help alot to decide its orogin and date of manufacture. So let us know how or where you you got it??? Hey! you know what I don't have a clue on how to spell orogin????????

RE: Any Idea's What this bottle is? - 11/27/2006 6:47:36 AM    deepbluedigger   Posts: 231 Joined: 1/12/2006 From: Yorkshire, England Status: offline Romford is a town in the county of Essex in southern England. Bottle looks pretty typical of black glass (not blue) spirit bottles of the 1850s - 80s period in England. The blue colour on the base is kindof common on this type of bottle, and is restricted to the surface of the glass. Some people think it might be an indication of a late type of improved pontil mark, but there's no agreement on that. Jerry (in reply to huffmnd) Post #: 16
