cross-hatch internal pattern decanter? - 7/14/2010 3:57:17 AM    stephengray   Posts: 634 Joined: 9/23/2009 From: Oklahoma (live in Wyoming though) Status: offline Hello, I am trying to find out if this is a good bottle or not.  I got this with a bitters bottle from a family so I know it is old.  It is not pontilled but I would say before 1900.  The pattern is on the inside of the bottle/decanter.  Please let me know what its name is, rarity and possible value if anybody knows it. Thanks for the help, Stephen Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Not Mexican...maybe not Clevenger. The shape is like the Clevenger external pattern flasks...additionally, their internal pattern flasks are more squatty with stubby necks & larger mouths (in reply to kungfufighter) Post #: 5

RE: cross-hatch internal pattern decanter? - 10/26/2010 7:48:55 AM    Jerseyana   Posts: 15 Joined: 6/3/2007 Status: offline Good morning. Your "cross-hatched" bottle is one made at Clevenger Brothers using checken wire to achieve the design. (They rolled the gather of glass over the chicken wire before putting it in the mold.) Your bottle dates circa late 1940s -early 1950s. Earlier versions of this bottle were made using wooden molds. An iron mold was used for yours. You might check for the presence of four different size circles on the surface of one side of the bottle, located between two and three inches from the base. These circles would definitely identify it as being made in a specific Clevenger iron shape mold that was sold at the auction of Clevenger molds and tools in June 2009.
