RE: What kind of bottle is this? please help! - 6/1/2007 5:23:17 PM    lobeycat Posts: 3805 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: online Ok Jsfarms here's what I got. I sent out a few emails on this nurser, one to the Bottle King, Mike Polak himself and here's his reply.... "Rich,      Thanks for the message.  Sorry I haven't responded sooner but I've had a ton of e-mails to answer.   Your nursing bottle, Circa 1890-1905, is considered a Turtle design and should have an 8 oz scale on top to the bottle.  The neck is considered a Neck ring (Applied Top is another description) with a slight bent neck.  The value of the bottle ranges approximately from $85 - $125...... "  He then goes on about his books.        Not a mention on the meaning of the "M" and before you get too excited about his appraisal he's a mid west/west coast guy and his bottle prices always seem to be a bit on the high side. I'm not an expert on nursers but I've dealt with them some and I'd say a good place to start the bidding would be 60-65 minimum.          This man knows his bottles although his prices leave me scratching my head more often than not. One hell of a guy though to answer this lowely collectors nagging emails. A wise and noble King indeed! Lobey. < Message edited by lobeycat -- 6/1/2007 5:27:20 PM > (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 22

I have found a treasure trove of bottles in cleaning out a barn!  Can anyone help me in dating and value of some of my finds?  White Milk Glass jar - on bottom "Maclaren's Imperial Cheese  Trade Mark R G S U " and the picture of two cows heads.  Stands only 2 1/2 inches high. base diameter 1 1/2 inches, top with lip 2 1/4 inches. Looks like wax or a cork was used to seal it. No threads. White Milk Glass bottle -with red threads running through it.  Beautiful. 10 " high. 1 thread on top,  top measuring 1 3/8" diameter, base measures 3 1/2" in diam.On base in triangle placement "3" at top-letter"H" at bottom left - "10" on bottom right  In the center is a capital "H" with a smaller capital "A" under the cross-bar of the H.  (anchor hocking?)  Any help is appreciated. I have Lydia Pinkham bottles, A&P bottles, beer bottles, ink bottles.   Where is the best place to research ?  I have about 50 !!!!! thanks,  Janet _____________________________ 1designingwoman (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 23

An eBay seach for ~ hazel bottle ~ will show several. :-) Great site for you to bookmark ~ http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=butchiedog_gone_it _____________________________ ~ tncgal ~ (in reply to 1designingwoman) Post #: 28
