Not to worry Sis, it's not too big, in fact it's a perfect close up of the embossing. Just include a wide shot of the whole bottle next time. We can tell a lot about a bottle just by the lip. What you have there is a beer or soda (I'm guessing soda) from early 1900's. It's not a slug plate. A slug plate was a way to change the name of the maker of soda will keeping the same bottle mold. interchangable plates. don't worry about that now. I'd estimate it's value at 5 to 10 dollars.

feel free to post and ask as many questions as you like. that's what this is all about. when you do, click the "Embed picture in post" box and you picky will appear in your post.
Again, Welcome!!!
Lobey.

Status: offline 		definately not a slug plate, it was made in a "custom mold" meaning the mold itself was carved out specifically for THAT bottle doing so made it really difficult to reuse the mold, i dont know much about chicago blobs but as much as i hate to say it, looks like rick is right on the money with that one!

i personally thought it was a GREAT picture, although the more the better you want to include both close ups like you seem to have mastered, and full bottle shots front, back, top, and bottom

Status: offline 		Hello sldavis, if it would not be a bother for you to do so, next time you talk to your Friend who collects Chicago bottles, see if he can give you any info on this Lomax bottle from Chicago. It is a large bottle measuring 13 1/4" tall by about 4 1/2" in diameter at the bottom. It is embossed - THIS BOTTLE IS THE PROPERTY OF AND FILLED BY CHICAGO CONSOLIDATED BOTTLING CO. ; GEORGE LOMAX PRES. ; LOANED-NEVER SOLD. I am curious as to what the dates were it was used, and more so, what it had in it. I will appreciate any information you can get for me concerning this bottle. Thanks much, Lou
