RE: CERTO brown bottle - 10/16/2009 4:33:38 PM    jes2kls1   Posts: 2 Joined: 10/16/2009 Status: offline First time on this site. I also have a brown bottle with a rectangular indention, engraved??? 1/2-CUP along with an arrow pointing down to a line, below line arrow pointing up and below arrow is 1/2-CUP again, on the bottle. No other markings, that I can see. It's about 7 1/2" tall and about 7 1/2" in diameter. I am not really an active bottle collector but, have several bottles which I have come across over a period of years. Does anyone have any information they can share about this bottle? In addition I have a Grolsch brown bottle with a porcelain stopper. Does anyone have any information they can share about this bottle Tried to upload a picture but, my picture is too large and I don't know how to make the jpeg smaller.

It was used to make the jelly gel. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to jes2kls1) Post #: 22

I found a Grolsch on ebay where they were either trying to get or got $22.00. I thought that was impressive... but, I don't know anything about bottle collecting. (in reply to jes2kls1) Post #: 24

Keep looking, though. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to jes2kls1) Post #: 25
