RE: Help with identifying! - 11/29/2005 7:32:27 PM    ronvae Posts: 253 Joined: 8/14/2004 Status: offline Hi Mudbug, I looked up the 3 "C"s mark, and all I found was a 1950s-1960s company, which is NOT your bottle--yours is obviously pre-bottle machine aqua, probably whiskey? For a rough date, I'd guess 1890-1910, but there are much more knowledgeable people on this site. I have one much like it that, and the cork is still in the bottom. Is it possible that one of the letters is a "G"? Or, maybe a "Co."? (in reply to SkatKat) Post #: 9

RE: Help with identifying! - 11/29/2005 7:52:23 PM    ronvae Posts: 253 Joined: 8/14/2004 Status: offline Hi Skatkat, I love people who type "ahem" . Here are my 2 cents: #1: machine-made ALC soda, haven't seen that one before #2: the dragon's head on the bottom is I think a boar's head, which was Gordon's trademark, I've learned, so I don't think it is a maker's mark. Pre-bottle machine. #6: Duraglas is Owens Illinois Glass Company, Toledo, OH, 1929-now, but Duraglas trademark was used 1940 & on #8: A Diamond mark with nothing inside it could be Diamond Glass Co., Monbtreal, Quebec (1891-1913), or maybe Diamond Glass Co. (Diamond-Bathurst), Royersford, PA (1888-1990). #12: Coke is really specific as to what is collectable--different rules than other bottles. The shape you have is called a "hobbleskirt", and to look it up on a coke site, you have to know the EXACT size e.g., 6 oz., or 6.5 oz, and exactly what is says--a date, or a patent number, etc., and the city on the bottom, and whether the city & the state listed on the bottom have embossed lines connecting them or not (the connecting lines can mean a 1989 reproduction). #14: See note on Duraglas under #6 The info on maker's marks I've listed is from www.myinsulators.com, which is one of the best maker's marks lists on the web. I would also recommend the BLM Historic Website for help on dating. Quite a beautiful collection! (in reply to SkatKat) Post #: 10

I believe the CCCo is the same C. Conrad, The Original Budweiser. C. Conrad & Co. Same type of bottle. Those must of had a nice paper label. I have a book somewhere about Redigging the Old West. They dug fort sites and found some bottles similar to yours. I will try to locate the book and see what they say. Nice, early beer bottle Mudbug. Probably 1870's- 1880's.

I have one almost like yours but mine doesn't have the cap. (in reply to SkatKat) Post #: 13
