That's ok, bottle collectors are interested in other things too, this is kinda cool.  The pictures are way too big though for easy viewing, try resizing them so you can see the whole picture without having to scroll.  Thanks!

I buy Northern California bottles. Also, "any" Jamaica Ginger that I don't already have.

hi, thx for the information...
the only thing that seems strange is that there is no E but only P.N.S.
and i have heard that the crafters put their initials on their product.
and i rly Hope :) that its the crafter initial :P
anyway... thx alot for the info ;)

You're right about that but there are no hallmarks on the piece, and it's pretty crudely crafted. It almost looks like a test piece or someone did it at home. Two bad signs. And I'm 100% sure it plated.
