who was C.C.W ? - 7/4/2003 10:44:27 PM    wvbottlehead Posts: 220 Joined: 7/4/2003 From: WV Status: offline I' ve got a open pontil bottle, rolled lip, ca. 1840' s - 50' s, embossed on one side - G.P.O.B., on the other side is C.C.W. I believe the GPOB is Gutta Percha Oil Blacking, I' m trying to find out who CCW was (assuming that was the maker). Any help would be appreciated.

I guess it very well could have been shoe blacking, I know that gutta percha is still widely used today for many different things from waterproofing to golf balls. Mint cond. I would think $20 - $40.
