what was in this bottle - 1/10/2005 6:58:11 PM    Trying not to break it Posts: 2306 Joined: 12/18/2004 From: balt. md. Status: offline hi everyone, i bought this bottle at a flea market , because it was so different. it is about 9 1/2" tall, 2 1/2" across base. it has an owens mark that dates it either 1935 or 1945. the embossing reminds me of a wire mesh. does anyone know what was in it. and if was worth my .25 cents. any information welcomed thanks, rhona Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Status: offline hi diggerjeff & diginit, thanks for the reply. i guess i thought of wire as i use chicken wire in my garden. the embossing looks like the wire where it intertwines. after i had bought this at the flee market, i was looking at other tables. i started talking to some one that had some older bottles for sale. we got to talking about bottles and i show him this, he started giving me some small bottles. he said he had seen several of then and now that he saw mine he wish he had one. i think he wanted me to give him my bottle. the bottles he gave me where chipped or cracked. i kept my bottle. i latter took him a nice acl soda that he didn't have. i like my bottle. thanks for looking . rhona (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 4

I would be curious who the manufacturer was. And hey! Watch out for that 'Doc', he's a slick operator. _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 7
