    okay.. Thanks for the lesson bottlenutboy. I have applied the knowledge to learn that my other bottle is dated 1932. So I can guess that my house is no older than 1930. They are in a case that my kiddo helped me build today and going on the wall when I get it built back.

    I am gonna say between 1930 and 1958 to be on the safe side. My Dad found another one today over another door. It is different than the last but also an Owen Illinois.

    Okay you are a major help! The Owens Illinois Glass Co. sent me in the right direction. I checked a few web sites and found the mark on another bottle.. The site explained the plant code is 12 .. The date code is 0. and the mold cavity or serial number is 2. I know that plant code is for Gas...

    I gotcha all beat. My husband and I have owned this house for a few years and haven't had the time or money to get someone to move it. It is sitting on School owned property so we got it for a steal. We gave up and decided to tear it down and move three miles to my acre.

    Thanks .... I found the same link for the sign on another search. I think the bottle is a good way for us to date the house. No one around my area knows how old my house is and the bottle was found in a place where it had to be put there. It couldn't have just fallen through a crack. So I think...

    We are remodeling our house and found a bottle in a space above a door frame. It is clear glass and is 4 1/2 inches high. The label is wore a bit on one side but you can read "Beeman's BQR for Cold Discomforts" (the c in cold is worn away). I think it can be linked to Dr. Edward E. Beeman of...
