Embossed George Washington? - 3/8/2008 6:38:29 PM    dkibby12   Posts: 4 Joined: 2/26/2008 Status: offline I received this bottle at a garage sale from an older man. He said it was his mother’s. I believe it is George Washington’s face (not positive) embossed on the front along with other designs. The bottle is about 6-7 inches tall. I think it has a pontilled base. There are no markings of date or company anywhere to be found on the bottle. Any thoughts of age, origin, or value would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! The bottles true color looks more like the first picture. Attachment (1) < Message edited by dkibby12 -- 3/8/2008 6:43:01 PM > Post #: 1
