Riddle bottles like yours come iron pontiled or smooth-based. Of course, the pontiled one is earlier and scarcer. If I remember correctly, William and Robert Riddle were related, and William was older. I did some research on them after I dug a broken R.Riddle bottle last year. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 6
