Sydney barbers bottle - 12/3/2003 6:24:55 PM    IRISH   Posts: 1238 Joined: 11/23/2002 From: cockatoo Australia Status: offline Found this bottle a while ago and have not found any info on it yet, I'd say it's from about 1900-1910. It's round, just over 8-1/2 inches tall in a nice ice blue, the base is plain and smooth, imbossed as follows N.S.W. BARBERS' SUPPLY HOUSE / CRAIG & AITKEN / SYDNEY the back is plain. The condition is down a bit but it was dug under 8 feet of ash, lime and sand, not the best for pulling out mint bottles .

We get used to the shape and ALMOST chuck them too, but years ago, I found one that was pontil marked, so I kept it. When I cleaned the gunk off, I found it was from Baltimore, Maryland! A really scarce find. _____________________________ Mike Russell Author of: The Collector's Guide to Civil War Period Bottles and Jars -- Third Edition (in reply to IRISH) Post #: 4
