need help with this bottle - 5/6/2008 12:18:44 AM    necie35020   Posts: 281 Joined: 10/28/2007 From: central alabama Status: offline I'm hoping someone can tell me about the tall bottle, left to right, fourth bottle. Was it used for whiskey? The age and value maybe, and what type of bottom? Information on any of the bottles would be great. I just got these yesterday, and don't know anything about them other than the short one is a pint sized Eskay albumenized food. Posting 4 pics. Thanks to anyone that will help.

Tapered body, ladys leg neck, looks like an applied double collar top, bottom is smooth based with a button left where the mold vent hole was.... I think. Not terribly uncommon, not terribly valuable. Needs a tumble. _____________________________ STOP THE CAR !! I think I see a cellarhole !!! (in reply to necie35020) Post #: 5

It has no seams. And as you can see in the pics, it has like circular marks on it. Are those caused by it being turned in a mold? There are two areas on the side where the glass sinks in slightly. The color looks olive brown when held up to light. When not it appears almost black.  It probably weighs 2 - 3 pounds. (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 9

RE: need help with this bottle - 5/7/2008 8:45:23 PM    beendiggin Posts: 503 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline If it has no seams it is referred to as a"turn mold" bottle.  Mold or bottle was spun to erase the seams.  The tall bottles all date to around 1900, give or take a few years.  Looks like they all contained some kind of spirits.  The first two look like beers or ales, the third one was probably wine or champagne, the big one was most likely  liquor of some kind.  Nice colors! _____________________________ Paul I will dig a cobalt skull.

The second bottle from the left has a design on it. A vine or flower wreath. Looks as though it is etched on the glass. I will post pics of the design, the neck, and the bottom.
