I know an older Greman gentleman that my parents are friends with that use huge bottles like that to make his homemade wine. Bigger than your normal demijohn. His arent that old, but same shape, and probably the same size. _____________________________ Formerly : Insulators Rule!

I run a small vineyard and use several vessels like this one.. yours looks like a 10 gallon.. (in reply to bottlepoor) Post #: 6

Base is embossed 13G (in the center) Around the edge of the base is M C A G S T D. 1947. This thing is a monster! Very crude and wavy glass. Some nice bubbles and I assume an applied top. Greenish-aqua. More on the green side. (in reply to bottlepoor) Post #: 8

There are know as "Carboy" or demi-john. Thats a nice one you got there. _____________________________ James Forward "Those who can't dig, use the golden pick" (in reply to timmy) Post #: 12

At first I thought you were totally joking! But then again, people have dug up Model T's. Can't believe you dug one of those up nearly intact. I second the notion. A lot of people use it for change. _____________________________ Interested in Philadelphia medicines, infant medicines, local embossed Royersford, PA bottles and poisons.
