Clevenger Jenny Lind with Spout - 8/4/2010 7:45:29 PM    cubby01   Posts: 12 Joined: 8/4/2010 Status: offline Hi All, First post - new to AB.net but not new to glass in general - was directed here for info on this bottle. It's a Jenny Lind repro and I'm assuming Clevenger by what I've read. The top is a pitcher or jug top. Were these common? I could not find any info on them in my web searches. It's amber. The Fislerville side has 3 barrels under the right side of the factory as I've read describes the Clevenger mold. I neglected to get a shot of the bottom, but the bottom looks molded with a circular depression - like a deep birdbath. Were the spouts an add on? Or was it just a different mold piece? < Message edited by cubby01 -- 8/4/2010 7:46:14 PM > Post #: 1

Would you know if the '#64' is the pattern number for this particular bottle, or was it just an item number from a particular catalog? I agree regarding the aesthetics of the jug. -Buck < Message edited by cubby01 -- 8/4/2010 11:33:39 PM > (in reply to Steve/sewell) Post #: 3
