Could you describe what you mean and I sure we can straighten this out.

The term "Shingle mold" appears to describe a result, rather than a process: Taken from: http://www.sha.org/bottle/body.htm (Note: Sometimes European made case gin bottles will have distinct vertical lines on the four sides which were mold induced.  On dip molded bottles this may possibly be from rubbing as the bottle was withdrawn from the mold [Shafer 1969].  These type gins - both dip and conventionally molded - are occasionally called "shingle mold" gins by collectors since the lines resemble shingle texture.  _____________________________ Here's my eBay stuff: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZpktchng Always looking for bottles from Rhode Island and Danielson and Killingly, CT.
