wine bottle NOPE it's a whisky bottle - 7/23/2006 5:11:32 PM    Lynette   Posts: 174 Joined: 5/29/2006 Status: offline Ok..last one for today..... I purchased this bottle......the colour is stunning and that is the main reason I bought it + the price was right ....$5.00. It is a dark amber. There is still some of the paper label attached although some one  has taped the remaining label to the bottle...the year 1887 is at the bottom (taped)....plus part of the label 1878 which includes the word republique and at the top the label reads ture(?) nto(?) The bottle is 11 inches tall. I am including a pic of it plus will also include a pic of the bottom of it. There is no embossing on it plus the seam goes up to the top of it. The cork is still on the bottle. Attachment (1) < Message edited by Lynette -- 7/28/2006 8:29:28 PM > _____________________________ Always looking for some ND/NR soda bottles...... Post #: 1

The seam going to the top says machine made but the bottom looks lake a turn mold except the seam. At any rate it appears more like a whiskey cylinder bottle, not a wine. Could the "?" be Toronto? _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back. (in reply to Lynette) Post #: 3

It will make a cool conversation piece too. it's definatly a whiskey but has part of a wine lable. It will display better without the bits of lable. _____________________________ 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 annie44) Post #: 9
