Basement beauty !!!! - 12/28/2008 12:06:25 AM    Clam Posts: 724 Joined: 11/8/2008 From: Baltimore Status: offline Found this one in the basement of a 300 + year old house. I have no experience with this type of bottle and was hoping the brains out there could give me a little help. What I can say is that it is very clean no chips or scratches. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

And they dont seem to represent the original pieces that well. It says they are made by local artists...what local?

RE: Basement beauty !!!! - 8/27/2009 10:04:38 PM    CWBookAuthor   Posts: 248 Joined: 7/5/2007 Status: offline Your bottle is dfefinitely a Jamestown repro that dates from 1970. I have one identical to yours. My wife and I bought it at Jamestown in 1970 and still have it. They are definitely attractive, but not much of a repro since they aren't as crude as the originals (if there truly is an original).   Mike _____________________________ Mike Russell, Author of The Collector's Guide to Civil War Bottles (in reply to Clam) Post #: 10
