It's an ale, dates around 1855-65 and was made by Powell from Bristol England. Powell started with stoneware bottles, ginger beers and the like I've seen the marks and prgressed into glass making. Later parnering with a guy named Ricketts. Went out of business in the 1920's the bottle on the left is marked Powell Bristol.

I considered HailAlmightySatan but it is a bit long winded Its a little hard to date non-USA bottles unless you know something about the progression of glass making techniques in the particular country (or region). We can make approximate guesses based on known dates of manufacturing dates here. Of course if its embossed the best route is to try and date it by the company history. I would guess that bottle is from the late 1860s to early 1870s. It does resemble the Ricketts molds some except the ones I have seen have the embossing on a flat rim of the base (nessisary if the bottle is iron or glass chip pontilled) http://weldgen.tripod.com/id102.html Article about bristol glass... < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 7/2/2008 11:20:23 AM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to Godard) Post #: 7
