The Corning Museum has one in their collection. Congratulations, you're in pretty good company. Did this come outta yer late late lamented milk dump? (in reply to the ham man) Post #: 4

I think it's quite a bit earlier than most of the stuff I remember you pulling out. Rarity wise, I don't know for sure, as I've never dug one. Maybe some of the other more experienced diggers can advise. It's a real nice example. I'd like to see more pictures. When they get front row, near center shelf at the Corning Museum, I'd say good enough for me. (in reply to the ham man) Post #: 6

They usually sell for $20-50 range but I don't know about yours... do I see a small chunk out of the top? They also came in 2 sizes (that I know of), the more common being about 5½" and a larger 7½". Very nice looking on a shelf as long as they don't roll off. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to grugirl) Post #: 9

RE: weird cigar looking bottle - 3/28/2011 6:48:42 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 3877 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Some of these were sold or given away by distilleries to whiskey customers.  Foust Distillery from Glen Rock did a lot of figurals and yours could have come from there.  They usually had a little paper label or company info on the top of the cork/cap. _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....

RE: weird cigar looking bottle - 3/28/2011 9:41:06 PM    RED Matthews Posts: 2394 Joined: 8/2/2008 Status: offline Hi again,  I think paid $ 12 for the smaller one at a bottle show and $22.50 for the eBay one.  They can follow me home in that price range.  I noticed your pistol candy bottle in your show case.  At least that is what I thought it must be.  I don't have one in that dark a glass - most of them are clear glass so the kids can see the candies.  One of mine I got when I was about nine years old at our local grocery store.  RED Matthews 4  _____________________________ http://www.bottlemysteries.com/welcome/ (in reply to grugirl) Post #: 16
