What is it? Purple Bottle - 2/27/2010 5:46:01 PM    junkbuyer   Posts: 8 Joined: 2/27/2010 Status: offline Hi, I was looking for help. Just picked up this bottle today. Don't know for sure if it is old or new so I thought I would ask the pro's. It is 8 1/2" tall, about 6 1/2" wide and 3 1/2" thick. No pontil mark, Has mold lines up the sides that appear to fade on the neck, and the mold lines go around the base not through it. I'm afraid it may be a new bottle made to look old. Has anybody seen this one? Post #: 1
