cool bottle I dug years ago - 10/5/2009 1:00:48 PM    galactus   Posts: 14 Joined: 10/5/2009 Status: offline Hi there: I am new to the forum and wanted to share something. I found this bottle about 30 years ago in an old dump in Cumberland, MD.  The indentations you see in the glass are not embossed. That is, you can not feel them, but are an effect in the glass some how. I always wondered what it was. Perhaps a perfume bottle of some sort?. Does anyone have any ideas?. This one is in good condition. A shame was there was a red one which apparently was part of a set, but it was broken. Attachment (1) < Message edited by galactus -- 10/5/2009 1:02:03 PM > Post #: 1

Can you also give some dimensions on the bottle, Sorry had to rotate the pic becaue I can't focus well when it's not upright for some reason.

RE: cool bottle I dug years ago - 10/5/2009 8:16:59 PM    galactus   Posts: 14 Joined: 10/5/2009 Status: offline Thanks for the replies.  I used to be an avid bottle digger. That is when I found this. I have not been into it for a while. I found this site and thought it would be fun to get back into it a little. This bottle has a ground pontil and is 7 inches tall. I found this in an old city dump in Western MD. The only problem with the dump was most everything was badly stained.  I have a few old bottles left, but not many. I have a flask from Oldtown, MD, which is pretty rare; a blob soda from Altoona, PA; and a blob from Brooklyn, NY that I kept because it has the largest bubble I have ever seen in any bottle. The dump I found it in has been dug through a lot. As of now, it is grown over and hard to get into. They were supposed to begin construction on the site, but it never came to fruition. That would have been the time to get in there. I will post a picture of the bottom as soon as I can. < Message edited by galactus -- 10/6/2009 7:18:09 AM > (in reply to Just Dig it) Post #: 4

This effect is created within the mold many barber bottles were imported just as many were made stateside there's no way to prove it, but I think this one is a Fenton piece. The red would command a higher price. (in reply to galactus) Post #: 7
