Billy Baxter - 7/5/2004 9:28:27 PM    Vaughn   Posts: 8 Joined: 1/14/2003 From: Onnalinda, Pennsylvania - USA Status: offline While going through a lot of old dug bottles (1880's thru ?), I came across a bottle with the name "Billy Baxter 12-1/2 FL OZ" embossed across the base of the bottle. The name Billy Baxter appears twice and is written in script. The bottle is light aqua in color and is an ABM type bottle. This bottle appears to be a soda type bottle with a pry-type crown. Although the bottle was found with older bottles, I don't believe the bottle is very old, but curiosity makes me wonder, what was in a Billy Baxter bottle? Your help is identifying the contents of the Billy Baxter bottle would be appreciated. Thanks! Post #: 1

I found a site called 'cool goose' auctions that had one listed with a starting price of $5.00. It is a soda or sarsapirilla bottle, post 1900. _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to Vaughn) Post #: 2

Yes the bottle is shaped like a bowling pin and the embossing is at the base of the bottle. Since this bottle came from a site that was a drug store and, in later years, a tavern, I believe your ID is right on the mark. Another bottle mystery solved. Thanks!!!

It was called Temple water. Probably just regular soda water but the reason they called it Temple Water was because in Red Raven Pa there are the ruins of a temple, Masonic I believe.
