RE: help identifying old bottle - 5/9/2008 9:00:02 PM    KentOhio   Posts: 677 Joined: 9/13/2004 Status: offline Great bottle. It's called a globular (as in globe-shaped.) It's American, probably from the Midwestern states, especially Ohio and Pennsylvania. You're right, it is about 200 years old. I'd date it from 1800 to 1835. They usually held whiskey. Value is about $75 to $125. (in reply to kmurban) Post #: 2
