But anyway mine almost looked black but it was amethyst when held up to the light. I think it was part of an Avon set or something. Sorry Swizzle but I have to disagree with you on the bird feeder/waterer theory. _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed. (in reply to towhead) Post #: 5

My aunt had a few of them when I was a kid. They made the glass ones into the 1960s and then went to plastic. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to dewdog) Post #: 7

Sorry for doubting you Swiz. But life would be boring if everybody agreed on everything right? _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed. (in reply to huffmnd) Post #: 10
