Whittled Duffys - 8/25/2008 12:59:28 PM    JustGlass   Posts: 391 Joined: 7/22/2005 From: Green Mountains of Vermont Status: offline Ive seen tons of these Duffy whiskey bottles but never one like this. I bought it over the weekend and it has amazing whittle ( looks like it came from a wood mold ) and crude bubbly glass. I didnt realize that these bottle were made with such crude glass. The glass and whittle reminds me of the stoddard flasks I own. I was told that these bottles were dug at civil war sites. Does any one know if thats true? I see it is pat. aug 1886 was the civil war still going on at that time? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Status: offline gunther When I use to make Civil Wars shows, I have been asked on more than one occasion if I fought in the CW. This was coming from late teens to early 20 year olds. Some of the 6,7 year olds we would kid with, being dressed in uniform I guess led to some of this. (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 6

I always wondered on those Duffys, were the Baltimore ones made before the NY ones or at the same time. Seems like the later ones are always NY. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 8/25/2008 5:17:41 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to glass man) Post #: 9

The wittle is usually caused by a cold mold. Might have been the first one blown that morning or the mold may have been dipped in water to cool. I've always assumed that a layer of steam formed between the mold and the glass causing the ripple effect. Course that's just me.... _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD8XDgVe2EU long lost recipe (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 12
