Embossing question - 10/22/2011 7:00:42 PM    SC pontil collector   Posts: 252 Joined: 2/15/2011 Status: offline I am cleaning out my boxes of dug bottles and came across an interesting embossing. So, I was wondering if this means anything or not. I have two light green applied tops I/P Dyottville sodas that are in the same form, tops, etc. One is about a 1/4" taller than the other. The shorter one has the Dyottville- Glass-Works (in an arch) with the embossing running from one seam to the other and the dashes in between the embossing. Also the PHILA is spelled exactly like I just wrote it. The other bottle is the same but the top embossing is in a narrower, higher arch with no dashes in between the words and the word PHILADa is spelled this way. Anyone know anything about these differences? Thank you, sc pontil collector Post #: 1

Anybody know if PHILA was a common early abbreviation for Philly? If so, it might indicate that this was the earlier version. Philada shows up on later bottles for sure, but I am only guessing, of course. < Message edited by blobbottlebob -- 10/23/2011 12:07:01 AM > (in reply to epackage) Post #: 3

I've seen "PHILA," "PHILa (with and without a line under the lover case a,)" and the ever popular "PHILADa (again with/without line)." I don't know which is the older abreviation. I did find this interesting thread on Disston Saw badges: http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/medallionpage.html that covers the topic to no definitive conclusion. Here's a good article on Dyottville Porters: http://www.glswrk-auction.com/contest06-5.htm that goes into the subject more from a mould perspective. You just never see "Philly" embossed. Maybe that's a good thing... (in reply to blobbottlebob) Post #: 4
