From that the info gets scattered to coat of arms, a golf coarse (which I think was the Woolfall estate), roads named Woolfall etc. It could be a family wine or brew or maybe they owned a pub or inn at some time. Who knows? Hey is this you on ebay. The list says Conn but here your westerm Mass.

RE: Woolfall - 12/31/2005 4:24:02 PM    bearswede Posts: 3190 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Eric... There was a Woolfall Hall in Huyton that burned down in the 50's or 60's... I'm bettin' that the bottle is related to its 19th century mantel... Ron _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!" (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 5

It seems you've got this one pretty much narrowed down for anything of English origin. Not an easy task so nice job. Nice to see folks with the history on the site as well so thanks to you also!!!! < Message edited by cowseatmaize -- 1/23/2006 2:06:12 PM > _____________________________ I'm glad I'm older, I heard kids are born with helmets now in case the doctor drops them.

RE: Woolfall revisited - 3/9/2006 3:41:48 PM    bearswede Posts: 3190 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Got a new, slightly shorter, Woolfall to add to my burgeoning collection (2 now) of early English Woolfall bottles... It's the one on the right... Ron Attachment (1) _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!" (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 10

Woolfall - 10/16/2006 1:15:29 PM    Boddle Posts: 8 Joined: 10/16/2006 From: Canada (Live in Singapore) Status: offline I have a Woolfall bottle I found in Indonesia buried under 6 feet of seabed in Tanjung Priok harbour in Jakarta . I found it when I was working as a commercial diver and was working on a job burying a subsea fiber optic cable. It has Woolfall on the base with Mancr, I guess this stands for Manchester. There's a large letter 'E' in the center of the base (England?). I didn't have a clue what it was for 10 years! It was sent back to Canada and then made a return trip to Singapore. Glad it didn't break. Attachment (1) < Message edited by Boddle -- 11/2/2006 8:59:31 AM > (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 13

RE: Woolfall - 11/2/2006 11:50:57 AM    Ye Olde Prospector   Posts: 609 Joined: 1/23/2005 From: Bath, Maine Status: offline Hi Ron and Erik, I recently dug up the bottom of a black glass bottle from an early 1800's foundation that is very similar to the base you show. It has a circle similar to a refired pontil mark and a large E very similar to the letter on yours. Anyone know if this just signified that the bottle was from England or something else?

RE: Woolfall - 11/2/2006 12:12:32 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 11628 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline I would guess the Woolfall marking indicates Woolfall England. The E is sometimes used as a date code on English glass but it doesnt seem to be in this case. I would suspect it is a glassmaker mark. The bottoms could not be refired (fire polished) or the embossing would be removed. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to Ye Olde Prospector) Post #: 17
