C. J. Oeffner -- What was this? - 7/31/2008 8:49:53 PM    carling   Posts: 370 Joined: 9/30/2006 Status: offline C. J. Oeffner Anyone know what this bottle is?  It's 2.75 inches tall.  Real weak embossing on the bottom, possibly the numbers 648, but the 4 is the only readable one.  Two seams run up on opposite sides, but looks like they stop before the lip. The dark area you see near the mouth is just cork still jammed in there. I had no luck googling the name....... Attachment (1) < Message edited by carling -- 7/31/2008 8:51:03 PM > Post #: 1

Nice bottle you have there. Any ideas where it's from? _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://members.aol.com/meechuta/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

I'm guessing it is from here in Cleveland, Ohio, since that is where I found it, under an attic floorboard.  I tried googling the name, but can't find anything on it to confirm.  Rick (in reply to Flaschenjager) Post #: 8

I couldn't find a thing on yours, to include my old OH bottle book. Sorry. Nice find. I like it. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://members.aol.com/meechuta/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!
