whats under this wicker? - 3/10/2010 6:54:44 PM    div2roty   Posts: 1432 Joined: 12/23/2008 From: DC with a Delaware Antique Store Status: offline I got this blob top bottle covered in wicker. it is over 14 inches tall. I can see that it has one word embossed on it, in script, starting at the bottom and going up to the right at an angle. I believe there is an L somewhere in the middle of the word. Does anyone has any idea what it might be? I 'd rather have the bottle covered in wicker if it is just some common bottle underneath, but I am really curious. _____________________________ Collector of Delaware Bottles, figural bitters, early freeblown.

I looks like a half loaf of bread demijohn. It is 8 inches tall and 4 by 6 inches wide. _____________________________ Collector of Delaware Bottles, figural bitters, early freeblown.

How did you know that I had a cat?  Do I look like a cat lady or something?  It must be really bad if you can tell I have a cat by looking at me through the internet. I know I am not giving too much info there, but it is hard to read the embossing by looking down through the bottle.  But, how many embossed 14 inch blobs can there be?  _____________________________ Collector of Delaware Bottles, figural bitters, early freeblown.

I HAD ONE AND TOOK THE WICKER OFF AND IT WAS EMERALD GREEN AND HAD A HUGE PONTIL! I THINK THE HALF LOAF OF BREAD ONE WOULD LOOK COOLER WITH OUT THE WICKER.COURSE THAT IS JUST MY OPINION.

RE: whats under this wicker? - 3/11/2010 4:30:35 PM    justanolddigger Posts: 380 Joined: 9/16/2008 From: Rapid City MI Status: offline  We had a ball a few years ago at a bottle show. My buddy and I went in together and bought a wickered covered amber flask. We paid a fair amount for it, knew it was a gamble, but just had to do it. Jim Hall from Chicago did the honors of stripping the flask, and out came one of the most beautiful double eagles I have seen, it was a Stoddard Glass Works in a true Stoddard amber, it just glowed. I think that that is as close as you can come to attic mint, neat to hold a flask in your hands that hadn't been touched in well over 100 years. The guy we bought it from was bummed, he had always wanted a "Stoddard" flask, and he lamented he didn't even know he had owned one for years. (in reply to glass man) Post #: 7
