RE: Bottle? - 8/28/2008 7:23:49 PM    woody   Posts: 1674 Joined: 10/29/2002 From: Gilmanton, New Hampshire Status: online Well, if it is that big then it probably isn't a scent bottle. It looks like the shape of a powderhorn, so maybe it was a candy container. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to ajohn) Post #: 6

RE: Bottle? - 8/28/2008 8:05:46 PM    OsiaBoyce Posts: 1758 Joined: 12/8/2005 From: Chinquapin, S.C. Status: offline Now this is just a guess. Could it be a vase? Not any vase but one they used to put in cars. In the teens and before and into the 20s vases were made for the better cars. It would have been attached to the door post for the rear seat passengers. This is just  guess, seems like I've seen something like that for that. Warren knows what I'm talking about. _____________________________ What I tell Paula EveryDay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKfF0YkFtYg (in reply to ajohn) Post #: 11

RE: Bottle? - 8/28/2008 8:26:00 PM    glass man Posts: 1807 Joined: 1/30/2008 From: GEORGIA Status: offline I sold one of these in FEB. at the Rome bottle show. It is a powder horn figural that held whiskey or candy. it has a hole on one end and a notch on another as you can see in the picture that probably had a piece of leather attached  or something like that as a powder horn would have. It is bimal . Pretty heavy. I bought it for $8 and sold it for $20. HOPE THAT HELPED.

RE: Bottle? - 8/28/2008 8:27:42 PM    ajohn   Posts: 194 Joined: 8/25/2008 Status: online Ithought about the vase thing too,but if it was, it wouldn't have the curve at the bottom.Also it has a loop to hang off of something.Believe me I've thought about this one alot.Plus the inside is smooth,so I thought, pressed glass? _____________________________ I found the Red Road through the valley of the shadow of death....and along the way,found some really cool bottles (in reply to OsiaBoyce) Post #: 13

RE: Bottle? - 8/28/2008 8:28:06 PM    bottlediger Posts: 1453 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: offline  Its a whiskey flask. A local distiller around here used to use them back in the day, either Moul or Foust, cant remember.

RE: Bottle? - 8/29/2008 2:15:17 PM    glass man Posts: 1807 Joined: 1/30/2008 From: GEORGIA Status: offline Not trying to start nothing,just consider that it may be a candy container.If it held whiskey it would't hold much as at the last of the bottle is solid glass and wouldn't hold anything. Also the inside of the container is very thick and would not hold as much as it appears. A candy container makes more sense as ,with most candy containers,after the contents are gone the kid has a toy that can be played with: in this case a powder horn. OH WELL! JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT . _____________________________ I know You've got mountains that you think you cannot climb Your skies are dark You think the sun won't shine Case you don't know The WORD OF GOD is true!

It is not,  however,  flint glass and it is not from the 1870s Where do people come up with this stuff? _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to glass man) Post #: 19

RE: Bottle? - 8/29/2008 3:03:28 PM    bottlediger Posts: 1453 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: offline Matt, that doesnt look to be the same horn and looks much smaller and has legs, I could be wrong. That one there on ebay is def. a perfume. The one ajohn posted is the same ive seen a number of times here locally, one was with full contents, lable, chain, and stopper. It was a give away, probly the reason it didnt hold much liquid.
