Check this neck out

[Bert DeWitt]

unfortunately I broke the bottle but with a neck like this I had to keep it, [attachment=neck.jpg] [attachment=neck1.jpg] [attachment=neck2.jpg] I'm going to try to put it back together because I like it so much.

Well Bert, I just found this post of yours about a bottle with strange marks in the neck. This is the type of thing I really enjoy getting into. I am putting together a study of round bottles that were turned in the mold, (A paste painted mold cavity), By the bottle maker turning the blow pipe while the bottle was still connected to the blow pipe.I will have to go back to your bottle neck pictures to study them further, but I think the bottle was a flask shaped item, and the maks I saw, were stretch neck glass bubbles created by the stretch of the neck glass to shape the parison form to leave enough glass near the shoulders of the bottle to blow out to mold cavity contact and make the bottle thickness needed to make a good bottle. I would have to see the picture of the whold bottle to confirm this analysis - so I will go back to the posting now. RED Matthews

Ok so I went back and the whole bottle isn't there. I see where what I wrote got posted twice, I must have made a double push of the button. RED M.

I have concluded that those twists were made when the applied glass for the finish was tooled it turned the neck. It doesn't seem like that would be hot enough that far down to put those stress lines in the glass. RED Matthews
