Slater, Myers & Co. bottle - 11/27/2003 7:59:55 PM    1853enfield   Posts: 1 Joined: 11/27/2003 Status: offline I found a bottle that has Slater, Myers & Co. Richmond Va on one side. It is 7.5 inches long, 3.25 inches wide and 2 inches deep. The seam runs up the corners of the bottle on opposite sides, but, doesn't run up the lip to the cork top. Opening for cork is half inch wide. The bottom of the bottle is double glassed. It has a flat bottom, but also can see a bow shaped second glass part that leaves a air gap between bottom and second glass bottom where liquid would be. Thanks for your time. Gary Post #: 1
