Mini-cabin - 5/30/2006 12:04:20 PM    bearswede Posts: 2912 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Hey all... I don't usually go for later bottles but this one caught my eye at a local tag sale... Can't find any info on it... Posted it previously, but I figured it was due for a re-run what with all the new faces around here... Olive amber colored glass with that "old" look to it... Cabin embossed on one side with a pioneer scene (woman with spinning wheel), reads: "Pioneer Women"... Reverse has embossed over logs: "Saluting Pioneer America"... Base reads: "BN 1972"... There are two mold seams, one diagonally across the base, the other on the neck in line with the roof peak... Great little bottle for a yung'un... Just wish I could pin it down... Thanks ahead for any thoughts... Ron Attachment (1) _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!" Post #: 1

It's really such a nice piece for being 20th century -- it drives me crazy that there's no info on it... Ron _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I know there are a lot of "Pioneer" themed sites out there, so it would seem this little bottle could be related somehow... Ron _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I remember all that pioneer america stuff, it was real big in  Colorado even in the early 1900. All the shops in Centril City, Colorado sold souvenir stuff like that. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to BRIAN S.)

RE: Mini-cabin - 6/5/2006 8:59:48 AM    bearswede Posts: 2912 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Thanks, everyone, for your comments and suggestions... The ink idea had come up before... To me, it seems too big and bulky to be an ink... As for repro, what is it a reproduction of? I think of repros being patterned after something well known and dear... Here, we have unknown to the max... Again, I think it probably held maple syrup... I contacted the Log Cabin Syrup people, but they said it wasn't theirs... It has the look and size of a pint syrup bottle like the "barn" next to it in the following photo...

How tall is it? It may be one of those bottle club commemoratives from a defunct club. Have you tried contacting anyone at the Midwest Miniature bottle club for info? _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.
