Large bottle (2 1/2' tall) with brass spigot - 1/9/2012 9:17:19 AM    wingsfan   Posts: 3 Joined: 1/9/2012 Status: offline Hi - I had (my dog just broke it) a very large glass bottle. Aprox 2 - 2 1/2 feet tall. It was kinda shaped like a wine bottle with a brass spigot in it. The base had no markings but was about 4 1/2" around. It tapered to the top. As I didn't hurt the dog, I've vowed to try and replace the bottle. I only have the base with spigot left and will try to upload later. Thanks! _____________________________ Melody Post #: 1

It says FINEST QUALITY BEVERAGES (on front bottom) GEO RASMUSSEN CO CHICAGO ILL. It's a very light aqua green tall glass bottle. On the base it says 30's. I can't find out ANYTHING about it. Please help!!! it won't let me upload a picture. Says it's too big. (in reply to wingsfan) Post #: 2

Pictures are the medium that allows us to understand what you are talking about. If they're too large, you've got to shrink them. SEE DIRECTIONS. Emiley, perhaps you might want to start a thread of your own, rather than graft your question onto a totally unrelated topic... (in reply to Emiley) Post #: 4

Some were very ornate and branded for soda and some were more plain and generic. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 5

I have dug up several broken ones in Pensacola. One was green depression glass and was chiped and missing the top and other parts. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 9

The one that had, I bought from some kid 8 yars ago. He was at a coinstar machine cashing in a few bucks, I seen the bottle and thought, this would be nice to put my loose change in. I asked him if he wanted to sell it he asked how much I wanted to pay. I told him 5 bucks and he took it. He must of wanted the 5 bucks for something. It does come in handy for putting change in but when empty and crazy dog it falls over and breaks. Thanks again for all your help! _____________________________ Melody (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 10

Be sure to save the spigot; if you don't come across an identical replacement there are other glass and stoneware dispensers out there, and the ones lacking a spigot/tap go quite cheap, so if it fits then you've got yourself a good deal. _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.

(Near scenic Lake Perfidy) Status: offline Welcome Melody!..Another thought. I work at a glass shop,...sometimes we drill holes (for lampcord, or whatever) in bottles...depending on how your spigot attaches, that might be a fun option too. _____________________________ Joe ``````````````````````````````````` In the woods we return to reason and faith. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooTyuRd9zSg&feature=related (in reply to glass man) Post #: 13
