My first impression is a modern decorative bottle. Its always hard to get a complete picture from photos though.  _____________________________ 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 NorCalBottleHunter) Post #: 7

RE: Nice Yellow, Do I have it right? - 8/19/2008 5:32:23 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5128 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: online As I said the shape is not typical.  The lip curvature is similar to later reproduction bottles. I see some mold lines on the neck near the lip that seem to indicate the lip was machine made in a multipart mold. The lip is very crude looking. A tooled lip would be more symetrical and I dont see evidence of the lip being separately applied. It appears to have been molded to look crude. I could be totally wrong, its just my opinion. Without holding a bottle in my hands its hard to say anything for sure. _____________________________ 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 jdogrulz) Post #: 10

What is the small dark teal one? Put up a good pic of it? _____________________________ STOP THE CAR !! I think I see a cellarhole !!! (in reply to jdogrulz) Post #: 12

RE: Nice Yellow, Do I have it right? - 8/19/2008 5:43:36 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5128 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: online No, your photos are very good. There is stuff you cant tell from photos like the weight and texture of the glass. Repro bottles tend to have thicker heavier glass than early hand blown bottles. If you feel inside the neck of the bottle a tooled bottle will feel totally smooth inside the neck (because the lipping tool extended down into the neck), on an applied lip you will feel a seam where the lip glass and the neck glass were stuck together, on later repro bottles you often feel a ridge inside right near the top of the lip that was a mold artifact.  I use the term repro loosely... I would more precisely call it a "decorative glass bottle" ... if it turns out to be recent.  My expertise is with embossed medicines. There are others here that are better with unembossed early glass and I will defer to them. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 8/19/2008 5:50:43 PM > _____________________________ 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 jdogrulz) Post #: 13

So this is not worth anything then? I paid $14.00 for it, but thats what NEWBIES do hugh? Thanks for your help _____________________________ Jeff (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 14
