Annie, nice bottles, the part of the bottles that is whittled were all parts blown in the mold.   Only a mold blown bottle, and the part of the bottle blown in the mold will have the whittle.  Some bottles have whittled looking necks and lips that resulted from the glass being to cool when it was it tooled.  There was a small window of opportunity to work with the bottle and in the day of applied lips many bottles had cooled to much before they were finished.  The glass was still workable but tacky so it rippled and pulled instead of smoothing over when it was tooled by the finisher. I think that in some houses they practiced cooling techniques that might have kept the molds to cold all day also, which would explain why some bottles are almost all whittled all the time.  The explanation I typed is the generally excepted theory at the time...  it's fact, but not completely understood... there is also a condition where the mold had water in it for what ever reason, (either to cool it or what not), when the bottle was blown.  This created some interesting marks in the glass as the water evaporated and steamed when it came in contact with the hot metal... < Message edited by tigue710 -- 1/18/2008 4:08:57 PM > _____________________________ aint no bottles in there....
