Bottle I.D. - 3/4/2007 10:01:07 AM    1926/07   Posts: 16 Joined: 3/4/2007 Status: offline Hello everyone. I am new to antique bottle collecting. If it hadnt been for discovering numerous bottles on my construction site I dont thing I would have become involved. We have found bottles allmost every day for the past 2-3 weeks.I have accumulated approx 2 dozen good bottles so far. I have to say I am intriqued  and want to learn more. You will see my posts here now that I have discovered this site. My first post is for one of the more unique bottles that we have found ,only as it refers to the shape. the base is basicly flat and is embossed with -- pateneted  July 12th 1894. There is also a line in the glass that looks like an imperfction and unintentional approx1/8 x 1/2.  not unlike a scar in the glass. So far how am i doing? Any help would be helpful. Thanks a million for the great site. Regards, 1926/07 the seams go up to the lip (top) and stop,not in the lip. The botle is clear Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Perhaps turn of the century (1900) honey, mustard or relish jar. Just a guess without seeing it better. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to 1926/07) Post #: 3

Perhaps pepper or another dried spice? Maybe even extract. Nice looking bottle! Rich (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 4

Someday when the books are written, it may be worth something. In the interim it is good to look at. Great conversation piece too. You could make up a whale of a story behind it for your friends.
