The glass was manipulated by hand, and blown with human lung power. I suppose it's a subjective term, but really, BIM is hand blown, as opposed to machine blown. _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!

RE: Holy bottle! ... no, really, it is - 2/3/2012 3:09:09 AM    andy volkerts Posts: 795 Joined: 1/10/2005 From: Sacramento, California Status: offline Actually bim means hand blown or machine blown, it stands for Blown In Mold, whether done by hand or otherwise. a machine blown in mold bottle can be identified by the mold marks being all over the top or lip area. when a tooled top or applied top bottle bottle is encountered there will be a pontil or snap case mold involved in the making of the bottle, and there will be no mold marks on the top or lip of said bottle. It can be confusing, but B.I.M. only means blown in mold, a person has to state other facts to insure the bottle is hand made or machine made. to be accurate , that is......... _____________________________ wanted....All cure bottles not already in my collection.....And a few meds from San Francisco (in reply to Wheelah23) Post #: 11
