RE: MISS. and CINCINATTI bottlesther - 7/19/2011 12:02:28 AM    L C   Posts: 3445 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline I have a square quart Magnus with a silver plated casing that covers the sides of the bottle from the shoulder and down the sides and bottom . It has the same engravings that is embossed on the bottle . There is something else engraved , I think the name of a bar making it a bar bottle I guess . I have never seen another one like it . If I do not forget this post , when I have the time , I will figure out where it is and take pictures of it . I might have posted that bottle on here a good many months ago , can't remember for sure now if I did or not . (in reply to carobran) Post #: 7

I have boxes in the attic , in a building at the back of the yard , as well as the garage . I think the quart one covered in silver plate is on a shelf in the garage . If I can remember , tomorrow I will check and see if I can get to it , and will post a picture of it . I have no idea where the amber one is , I just remember putting it away in a box a year or two ago . I don't know why I keep all the bottles I have being so many of them are boxed up . Just can't get myself to let go of them . Its a sickness I guess . I believe there are actually five or six different variations of the Magnus bottles that I have seen over the years . I do not believe that any of them are rare . (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 11

RE: MISS. and CINCINATTI bottlesther - 7/19/2011 10:08:29 PM    L C   Posts: 3445 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Well Surf , went out looking for the bottles today , found the big one encased with the silver plate but was unable to locate the amber one . It is just like the one you show except that it is amber . One thing I did see was that the incising on the silver plate is not exactly as the embossing on the glass of the one that is shown . It has Murray Hill Club incised and only has the Lion trade mark with Magnus incised underneath . I tried looking though the bottom to see if the bottle was embossed , but could not tell if it was or not . I am thinking the bottle is not embossed  , but can't be sure . I also have a pretty big clear rectangular Magnus , close to maybe a quart size somewhere , looked for it too but came up empty finding it . It is embossed the same as the quart one shown in the post . Attachment (1) (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 13

I am not sure if the Murray Hill Club was located in Cincinnati or not , but I am guessing that it was .
