id bottle with base only please - 5/1/2008 5:22:44 PM    freestategal   Posts: 1 Joined: 5/1/2008 Status: offline I have a bottle base only, and would like it id'd if possible. it is a clear glass, with a large "E' embossed in the center.  There is also what looks like (form my readings) a valve or ejection mark, that is a small round sharp identation that matches the description of these marks.  Side of bottle has "...RY" embossed near bottom of bottle.  Does anyone know what this bottle could be? Thanks.  Post #: 1

Hi Josh - pics definitely help.   I'll go out on a limb here and say you have the bottom of a round pint or quart milk bottle, the ....RY is the remains of DAIRY and the large E was the first initial of their last name.  Any dairy's near you that started with an E?  Sometimes there is a faint two digit date somewhere on the base or on the heel of the bottle and sometimes some manufacturer's initials. _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....
