wierd Owl - 1/18/2006 8:10:11 PM    diginit   Posts: 662 Joined: 4/7/2004 From: California Status: offline I can't find anything on this one anywhere. Plenty on cobalts. It's Dirty, Clear and ABM. Just under 7" tall. Closest discription I've found values at 275.oo. Seems kinda high to me. Any info is appreciated. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Life is a Ditch. Post #: 1

All my other references that list round or cylinders list taller bottles. Thats as close as I've seen. The 7" may be rare. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to diginit) Post #: 2

I'm curious about this little 3 1/4" tooled one winger also. Attachment (1) < Message edited by diginit -- 1/18/2006 9:05:34 PM > _____________________________ Life is a Ditch.

They only go for $10 to $12. You know , for a bottle you don't see very much any more thats not much. I think I've dug more cobalt than any other color. They also come in milk glass and amber. Sold all of mine but one small cobalt one. That was stupid on my part. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to diginit) Post #: 4

RE: wierd Owl - 1/18/2006 10:28:37 PM    CALDIGR2   Posts: 465 Joined: 6/20/2005 Status: offline "Hooters" are dug in just about any mid '90s and newer privies or dumps. I have dug hundreds of 'em of just about any type. Square, rectangular, round, one wing, two wing, "hippie" owl, "drug crazed" owl, milk glass, cobalt, amber, green...... The green "whiskey" shaped ones seem to draw the most collector interest, followed by the larger size cobalts. The little med in your pic is a one winger of the second mold and dates from 1900 to 1910. I'm sure that their bottles were used for a long time, with some specimines of older molds filled and sold later than the bottle type would indicate. This "phenomenon" has been known to happen with all types of antique bottles. Mike (in reply to diginit) Post #: 5

It's old reference but its all I have. _____________________________ Bruce RABCA : President FOHBC: Member web site : www.slimdigger.com (in reply to diginit) Post #: 6

Owls are interesting bottles. Hey Caldigger2, If you ever get bored, maybe you could post some pics of some owl bottles. Especially the Crazed and Hippie owl. I'd love to see them. I'm near SF. Maybe I'll find one someday. _____________________________ Life is a Ditch. (in reply to diginit) Post #: 7
