Wasn't sure where to post so here's good enough Tripure... - 4/21/2006 5:11:34 PM    lmtae2   Posts: 18 Joined: 3/21/2006 Status: offline I hope the tripure water company bottle that I found right after the neck got broke off wasn't worth too much. Patent April 11, 1916. It sucks that it got broke as it's very heavy and triangle shaped. Pretty cool. But I did find another bottle I believe called Writtemore's shoe polish. Not sure about the Writtemores, anyone know anything? Can't find anything on it. TIA (in reply to southern Maine diver) Post #: 82

Or stoneware whiskey jug? Or an aged bottle of rum. Without a bottle he almost seems outta place. Make him a ginger beer out of clay or something. Jason (in reply to southern Maine diver) Post #: 84

Looks like mid 1860s to about the mid 1870s. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to southern Maine diver) Post #: 99
