Chestnut? - 8/28/2010 2:35:26 PM    AckBot   Posts: 13 Joined: 8/26/2010 From: Nantucket Status: offline I am brand new to this forum. I have always enjoyed getting the odd antique, especially tools and firearms, and now here I am digging for glass. Here is a bottle I have had for about thirty years. It is 9 3/4 tall by 6 1/2 wide by 4 3/4 thick at the bottom. Would this be a Chestnut or ...? I am ignorant about most things glass. Cheers Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I've had it a good long while now and maybe it would look nice on someone else's shelf for a while. I could take some more photos to give you a better idea.
