old green bottle , no lip - 1/16/2012 1:10:03 PM    scottysbottles   Posts: 14 Joined: 2/7/2007 From: mt pleasant tx Status: offline Hi , everyone , i'm a casual collector , who picked up an old bottle recently , unfortunately , it's broken off at the neck , olive green and would be about 9 in. tall if not broken . Shape is similar to modern liquer bottles , kick-up base , I'd call it bulbous in shape , has an embossed semi-circle on shoulder , about 2 in. , base is about 4 in. wide , flaring to about 4 & 5/8ths @ shoulder. I've tried but failed to post fotos of another bottle before ; any clue ? scotty Post #: 1
