Old Molineaux embossed gallon jug

I found this Old Molineaux embossed wine jug. There don't seem to be any markings in the glass at all. The only other items I could find concerning Old Molineaux was some signage sold at auction.

capped Vinol amber; 1898

I don't dare to try and remove the cap...I am afraid of damaging it.

Pardon my newbness! [:)] I have MUCH to learn. I think I am hooked though! The bottle seam does not go up to the lip, so I thought this was a pre 1900 bottle.

LOL Thanks again for the great info! If I understand correctly, the Kork-N-Seal was added to the Vinol bottle later and this was not the original sealing method. FROM the great link above:

WHAT YEAR? Blanchard's Beer (Boston) by Waukee Brewing (NJ)

I found this beer bottle, I am guessing 1950's, but I want to be sure. It is a 12 ounce squat bottle with a nice paper label. It is called Blanchard's Beer (Blanchard's liquor stores still exist in the Boston area) and it says "SOLE DISTRIBUTOR BLANCHARD IMPORTING AND DISTRIBUTING COMPANY...

I see: there is a "cork disc" up inside the cap. So I think there is no way to tell if it was ever opened or not.

surfaceone: Thanks for the great info! Mine should say "PRIVATE MOULD" on one bottom edge, but that is where the glass is chipped. I'm guessing most of the liquid evaporated over time through a hairline in that chip? There is a lot of dried product inside...this bottle was laying down for a long...

Interesting with the cap still on it. Anyone info or estimates would be great! The bottom rear has a chip in the glass. Bottom center there is a diamond with 109 in the middle. "Patented April 19, 1898" and "PRIV" and "D" is also embossed on the bottom.
