RE: showing off a bit - 3/15/2008 8:16:43 PM    tigue710 Posts: 1747 Joined: 7/11/2007 From: connecticut Status: offline beautiful flask!  Get to see something new ever day! In front of the large  black glass cylinder storage or chemist bottles, the third shelf up from the bottom on the large shelfing unit there is a collection of eight sided paneled meds with long necks, most black glass and there looks to be one embossed.  I am researching these types of bottles right now.  Could you possibly post a picture of the group and information on where they were or found?  dimensions too?  Thank you greatly,  matt Attachment (1) < Message edited by tigue710 -- 3/15/2008 8:20:19 PM > _____________________________ aint no bottles in there....

RE: showing off a bit - 3/15/2008 8:46:39 PM    tigue710 Posts: 1747 Joined: 7/11/2007 From: connecticut Status: offline do any of them look very similar to this one?  I believe this to be a New England bottle, and two more have showed up locally, leading me to think they might have come from a very close source... All three I have seen where found with it 15 miles of each other, and I have not seen another quite similar except for English variants... The light is bad in this picture, the bottle is more green then this, but I sold it so I cant get a better pic now! _____________________________ aint no bottles in there....

RE: showing off a bit - 3/15/2008 9:18:45 PM    tigue710 Posts: 1747 Joined: 7/11/2007 From: connecticut Status: offline No, I have a few and none of them are embossed.  One looks to possibly have some very faint base embossing outside of the pontil, but I cant be sure, it is to difficult to tell if it is just a result of the pontil in the glass or intentional...  I have not ever seen any embossed.  Are the embossed on the body or on the base?  Are they dip molds or piece molds?  A member of this forum posted a small cylinder with a number four on the shoulder a while back, I'll see if I can find it... _____________________________ aint no bottles in there....
