Repairing cracks in pontiled sodas

I recently gave this a try with no luck. I pulled a deep vacuum on a cracked milk bottle and it would not pull "windshield crack repair glue" through. Anyone have any other thoughts?

Thanks for the information Brent. I looked up the deep green squat and it is actually from Wilkes-Barre, PA even though it's not marked.

Just some new bottles I recently picked up from the estate of a man who passed away. He must have collected from that region. Does anyone know the rarity of these? Thanks.

CSI This

I would say the bottle dates to around the 1880's. It's actually not mine either. I found the picture on an ebay listing. I think the guy was asking around $40 too for the bottle.

Cobalt Squat Soda Union Glass Wks

Very nice bottle and thanks for sharing the pic! Yes, I still have the bottle. It's my most prized bottle in my whole collection. I think you are right about mine being the later version. According to Todd's site, your bottle is around 1848-1849 and mine is 1850-1852.

Hey soda bottle. Thanks for bringing this thread back to life. This was actually my first post on the forum back in 2004. I have come to the conclusion that the bottle I have is from Avondale, PA. I've seen a few over the years up for sale. I even saw a nice deep green one. On Todd's website...

My biggest issue with coyotes is their affect on the red fox population. Being an ex trapper, I can tell you high coyote population in an area equals low red fox populations. The coyote's will simply kill the fox over territorial issues.
