I have a few bottles, very old, please help identify? - 1/3/2008 2:22:20 PM    brassmonkee   Posts: 1 Joined: 1/3/2008 Status: offline hello all. i'm new the forums. my girlfriend brought home a few bottles given to her by a very elderly woman. I assume theyve been in her posession for quite some time. She is in her 90's and we're in south georgia, where alot of antiques are treasured and kept for many generations. Anyways, I will post the pics. One of the bottles is an E.G. Booz. I did some reading on it, and, though I'm not convinced it is an original, I think it's a very very old reproduction. Please, your thoughts! < Message edited by brassmonkee -- 1/3/2008 2:24:57 PM > Post #: 1

C.B. stands for Clevenger Bros. A bit of history on those boys.... http://jdscrafts.com/glass/page3.html These are what we call windowsill bottles. Pretty and collectable in there own right, but not worth a heck of a lot. Your Booze bottle can be found for $5 The other two $20-$25 maybe. Lobes. _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD8XDgVe2EU long lost recipe (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 3

For teenagers, a 40 year old bottle can seem pretty old. I work on geologic time scales so nothing under a million years gets called very old.  _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 6
