    New collection from Foundation site, 5/4/04

    Thanks Treasure Rat! Any idea of age? I assume the squeezer is depression glass and the ink well does not have the seam through the lip. The bottom is slightly concave with a fine textured roughness to the glass bottom. No marks. CSJ

    1915 Coke NY Root Co

    Thanks Greg! I found out from another source that the "Root 160 31" found on the heel is broken down into the Bottling Co. (Root, as you said) and the three digit is the mold, the 2 digit is the year. But I don't understand if the year was 1931 then why not use the mold that shows the patent...

    1915 Coke NY Root Co

    I have an old Pat'd 1915 bottle with New York on the bottom and " 160 Root 31" on it I know the Root refers to the bottler, Root Co. I did some research and couldn't find the value posted for NY bottles. Many other city names but never a mention of NY. Help? First photo of bottom Thanks! CSJ

    Twisted aqua bottle 2 ft. tall!

    and another showing that the seam on the lip is separate from the bottle's seam. What's interesting is that inside the lip, the seam is smoothed and can only be seen from the exterior. The entire lip has a different texture than the bottle, rougher. The tiny bright spots on the bottle aren't...

    Twisted aqua bottle 2 ft. tall!

    To KAT: I photographed the seam showing that it follows the twisting motion that deformed the bottle. So it was blown and then twisted while still warm. Also easy to see the may bubbles in this piece, note that the bobbles are elongated and twist as well! I think the bottom didn't change much...
