Your bottle appears to be a chiati bottle. Here's a link to an earlier thread. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m_6571/mpage_1/key_chianti/anchor/tm.htm#6573 ------------Harry Pristis _____________________________ ______________________________________________ Visit The Demijohn Page at: http://members.aol.com/pristis/index.html (in reply to Rrey199) Post #: 2

Back in 1976 I worked for a while at a distributor who sold wine in bottles like that. Some were nearly 4' tall; the wine was imported and very cheap, like $3.99 a bottle. Some of the bottles fetch $20+ these days if there still in the holder. _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to Rrey199) Post #: 3

RE: Found this one - 5/26/2004 8:57:22 PM    Rrey199   Posts: 22 Joined: 5/24/2004 Status: offline Harry, you get the prize! A local antique dealer agrees. The bottle is only 6 3/4 inches long, irregular with lots of bubbles. The dealer dates it to 1911-1915 somehow. Funny side note: At a recent local bottle collectors meeting, these bottles were discussed with different resons for a round bottomed bottle. The guy I was with joked that he gets a bottle like that everytime he gets Chianti. A couple weeks later, I find one. Thanks for the input. (in reply to Rrey199) Post #: 4
