    More like the Rolling Stones advice , "You can't always get what you want."

    The McKearin numbered GIV-42 Calabash Flask

    I'm not aware the Clevenger Brothers reproduced that particular flask. I have an examle of that flask belived to be made in Eastern Europe which would fool a lot of people. The difference is the pontil has been polished off, a good indication of European work. Check the bottom.

    Real or reproduction? Value? Union Shield Clasped Hands Flask Dark Amber

    The bottle in the images you provide is definitely a machine made reproduction. I have a similar bottle. The aqua bottle pictured in the first post is old.

    Help with ID/Age of this bottle

    British glass makers were using older techniques very late, sometimes difficult to date British bottles by an applied lip, black glass or general crudity. I have a British black glass ale with an applied crown top lip. Something you'd never see on an American bottle.

    New dig in Alabama

    Bottle diggers often find old bottles and jugs underneath the crawl space of old buildings. Sounds like the jars you found are 1920s to 1930s. But that doesn't mean there isn't older stuff. Some great finds have been made under old buildings,

    Finally aquired the Apple green

    Ryan may have used more blue bottles than any bottler I know of.

    welp, I just had literally the most successful day in bottle hunting I've ever had.

    Nice finds, Hutchinson's are always fun to dig. Date 1890 to 1900.

    questions on a couple of bottles

    The beer probably dates post 1900, but before 1915. The Sloan's Liniment appears to be machine made, post 1920 but possibly post 1930.

    Excellent example of an early to mid 1840s bottle. A star of any collection.

    Please help me date this old bottle

    Probably European 1870? I have a similar pontil clear bottle. Definitely not the kind of bottle which would be reproduced. If I were going to reproduce a bottle it wouldn't be a common perfume or medicine. Historical flask maybe, but not a common product bottle.

    What have they done to you Johnston?!

    Soda and beer bottles were somewhat more expensive but quality wasn't an issue until after 1880. Even then quality was not always a high priority. It's amazing some bottles sold to bottlers had all sorts of imperfections yet were accepted and used anyway. As long as they didn't leak they were...
