Aqua or Blue? - 2/24/2011 8:57:35 PM    baltbottles   Posts: 2300 Joined: 11/25/2002 From: Baltimore Maryland Status: offline I have had the blue example for years and had never seen an aqua example until this one showed up on ebay last week. I really like collecting the same bottle in several colors. Now if only a green or puce example in this mold would show up.

What are they 5 or 6 inches tall? _____________________________ " Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason" Samuel Clemens (in reply to Jim) Post #: 7

RE: Aqua or Blue? - 2/25/2011 2:34:58 AM    baltbottles   Posts: 2300 Joined: 11/25/2002 From: Baltimore Maryland Status: offline Jim, Thanks. I'd really love to find another color in this mold. There are a couple smaller sized Davis and Millers in green. Rockbot, Yeah same exact mold. The blue example is iron pontiled and the aqua is open pontiled. The tops are slightly different but being they were from different glass batches I'm sure different lipping tools were used on them. They are 8 1/2 inches tall so a good large sized bottle.

I wonder if they were used as master inks? _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to baltbottles) Post #: 9

RE: Aqua or Blue? - 2/25/2011 3:22:16 PM    baltbottles   Posts: 2300 Joined: 11/25/2002 From: Baltimore Maryland Status: offline Matt you took the words right out of my mouth. Davis and Miller produced ink also. There are embossed umbrella inks with their name and I have a small unembossed utilty with a davis and miller ink label. I have speculated that the blue example may have been a master ink for a few years now. It wouldn't surprise me if that is what they used these large bottles for. There is also a larger sized about a half gallon pontiled Davis and Miller bottle that I still need an example of.

If so I was the under bidder.
