RE: Wall Find - 1/23/2004 7:48:18 PM    BRichardson5   Posts: 378 Joined: 8/29/2003 From: Pacific Northwest Status: offline To get a date, look at the mold seam. Does the line run through the lip of the bottle, or below it? Also, what color is it? (in reply to Bammer) Post #: 3

RE: Wall Find - 1/24/2004 9:58:43 AM    Guest glassmaker mark on bottom is from owens of illinois. we can roughly date it between 1932 and 1943. this brand started in 1880"s and can still be purchased today. neat find i dont imagine it has much $ value. _____________________________ Always looking Mint Cola bottles, and local bottles from North Carolina (in reply to Bammer)   Post #: 6

However, because there is a label, the value really increases. Great find! (in reply to Bammer) Post #: 7
