I've got no clue what this one is... - 12/11/2006 10:12:51 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline I suppose I should post this over on the other forum, but there's such great activity in here.  Anyhow, this was my one find while digging for a few minutes this evening.  It's got a very crude top, although it's not a pontilled bottle.  The neck actually leans to one side a little.  It hasn't been melted.  Any ideas what it was?  A food bottle?   Attachment (1) _____________________________ "Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history." - Shaw Yooper Post #: 1

It does, however, have the right shape. Rich (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 3
