Clear Commemorative Liberty Bell Bottle? - 5/10/2003 2:38:56 AM    Guest Hi, I have a mystery bottle I hope you can help me identify. This sat atop my mother’s kitchen soffit since about 1960. It is clear glass base with brown plastic top bar/piece and the only markings are on the bottom: " Commemorative Bottling of the United States Bicentennial" . Just below that is 1776 - 1976. Towards the center of the base are the #' s 101, then a circle with a line in it that looks like a possible trademark (too vague to really see good), & then on the right of that are the #' s 76. dimensions are 8-1/4" high x 6" across the base. Too big for an Avon bottle & I think if it was a liquor bottle, the companies name would be on it. I live in a town that use to design/produce the fancy bottles for Jim Beam, & at one time I know my folks (that' s where this is from) use to have some of them. Anyway, do you have a clue what it might be? Do you have any ideas how I could research this without costing an arm & a leg in the process? Hope you can help Attachment (1) _____________________________ Always looking Mint Cola bottles, and local bottles from North Carolina   Post #: 1

RE: Clear Commemorative Liberty Bell Bottle? - 5/10/2003 3:43:49 AM    Guest Welcome to Antique-Bottles.Net! I don' t think there is expert on bicentennial Liberty Bell decanters yet but there probably will be by the time we get to the tricentennial eBay always seem to have a dozen or so up for auction. I think the best way to get a fix on yours is to look through the list every week until you find one that looks identical then drop the seller an email.... http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&krd=1&from=R8&MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&query=liberty+bell+decanter (in reply to Guest)   Post #: 3

RE: Clear Commemorative Liberty Bell Bottle? - 5/10/2003 6:43:26 PM    Guest AVON MADE A LIBERTY BELL BOTTLE IN 1971. IT WAS 5 OZ. 4 1/2 INCHES TALL WITH A BROWN PLASTIC TOP.IT IS NOT LIKE YOURS. OLD MR. BOSTON MADE A LIBERTY BELL IN 1976. THIS COMPANY STARTED IN MASSACHUSETTS AND BOTTLED DISTILLED SPIRITS AND FLAVORED CORDIALS IN DECANTERS UNTILL MID 1970' S. IM SURE YOUR BOTTLE HADE A LABEL AT ONE TIME ADVERTISING THE BOTTLER. ALSO FAMOUS FIRSTS LTD. OF PORT CHESTER N.Y. MADE A LIBERTY BELL BOTTLE IN 1976. IM SURE THERE WERE OTHERS MADE IN THE 70' S . IT WAS A VERY POPULAR THEME AT THAT TIME. GOOD LUCK WITH THE HUNT ,AND I HOPE THIS GIVES YOU SOME DIRECTION. DIGGERJEFF (in reply to Guest)   Post #: 4
