Cabin-shaped Bottle - 11/4/2004 6:39:41 PM    bearswede Posts: 2906 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Hey Folks... Picked up this nice cabin bottle at a tag sale this summer... Anybody have any info on it? It's 3 and 7/8 in high, 2 and 3/4 in wide and 2 and 1/2 in deep; a smokey amber with nice "old" looking glass... It looks as tho it was blown in 2 parts ( the cabin has one seam and the chimney has a seperate one)... Embossed on the base: BM 1972, on one side: Saluting Pioneer America, on another: Pioneer Women (with a depiction of a woman at a spinning wheel)...

I expect it probably contained maple syrup, but it must have had a cork or some similar stopper... It's a nice little bottle for post-ABM... Ron Attachment (1) (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 2

Idon't have anything factual to post, but since no one else has responded, and your post has been up a while---I guess it would be ok for me to think out loud about it. I wonder if it was made to commemorate some local event? Did the locality where you got it have, by any chance, any Pioneer celebrations or anything in 1972? Centennials or that sort of thing? Even in the same state, if not the same town. Your local librarian might be able to check that out for you. Or, are there any maple syrup producers in your area? Have you tried showing it to any of the antique dealers in the area? Please come back if you learn anything more about it. (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 3

I would guess midwest... It has the look of prairie state about it... I thought for sure I would pick something up on a search engine, but so far, not a nibble... (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 4

I'm dragging this old post out again in the hopes that one or more of our myriad new members may offer a clue to this mysterious little beauty... Not an oldie, but, I think, a goodie...

RE: Cabin-shaped Bottle - 2/21/2005 11:51:09 AM    bearswede Posts: 2906 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline It's rather large for an inkwell, I think... And, I can't imagine what bottle it would be a reproduction of with the "pioneer" embossing... Thanks for your thoughts, and I hope others will keep them coming!!!

I know they have made many small containers to promote sales off and on over the years. They often have stopper tops.That's my guess, interesting anyway. < Message edited by Ye Olde Prospector -- 2/21/2005 12:44:26 PM > (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 8

RE: Cabin-shaped Bottle - 6/7/2005 12:15:12 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 2015 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Possibly a Commemorative bottle....Did some Googling and found a possible reference to North Dakota...Bonanzaville and Fargo... Seam on the chimney does not line up with the cabin seams? Sounds like an Italian made item...They made all kinds of "repos", adaptations, commemoratives using an early Owens machine. In this machine the main body of the item is blown first, then the mouth is added in another step. To do this 2nd step , the machine rotates the bottle 90 degrees....thus the offset seams. Neat cabin bottle. _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

RE: Cabin-shaped Bottle - 7/30/2007 9:25:52 AM    bearswede Posts: 2906 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Thanks a bunch, Eric!!!!!!!!!! Did you just happen to have a copy of Bottle News with that ad in it? I'm glad you spotted that one on ebay... And to know they were made in limited editions... 5000 green Pioneer women... Thing is, mine is decidedly mostly amber... I would love to have the Early Glassblowers bottle!!! Thanks again, Bud, for your due dilligence!!!
