Blue Bottle - HELP? - 7/6/2004 3:08:14 PM    krgallo1   Posts: 4 Joined: 7/6/2004 Status: offline I found a blue bottle in an attic last week, wrapped in 20-year old newspaper. It has GENERAL WASHINGTON written on 1 side with embossed picture, and an eagle on the other, and the bottom has a "2" on it. What is it? Post #: 1

I have one that is sort of amythest-purple, and I understand they also came in blue and clear, were put out around the late 60's I think. One web site thought they were bicentennial commoratives, but I know I got mine before that. (in reply to krgallo1) Post #: 8
