There were quite a few of these jars reproduce and quite a few different colors but i have seen them at times bring a good bit of money usually by those that are not aware they are repops . Still pretty bottles no matter how you look at it .
Jumbos are common as already stated . I collected them years ago . If I remember right there are like twelve different slogans on the bottoms of the one pound jars . These usually sell for around eight to ten bucks in my area , but some of the other Jumbos will bring some fairly good prices .
Sorry I could not get a better picture of this bottle . On the bottom of the bottle is a light ring of lightly jagged glass . It is hard to see but it will darn sure catch your attention if you run your finger over it , found that out the hard way . Its like a partial pontil , like possibly...
I had one of these at one time , never could find out anything about it . Sold it a while back , wish I had never let go of it . I have seen only three of them , mine yours and another . I would hang onto it , I doubt that there are s lot of them floating around out there .
Well , I am not sure if I accidentally posted before I was ready or not . So here we go again .I recently picked up this flask and for the likes of me I can nor figure out what the embossing is supposed to be . The embossing is the same on both sides only located a little different from one side...
I recently picked up this flask and for the likes of me I can nor figure out what the embossing is supposed to be . The embossing is the same on both sides only located a little different from one side to another . Stands roughly 7 inches tall . Not sure what kind of pontil it has on its bottom...
Just sold one of these bottles Bill , I was told it was a Caspers and as you say it looks identical to it . Have not been back for a while . glad to have caught one of your posts . Hope all is well with you and yours ,Lou
I think everything has its time . But I have always heard that what loses interest will come around again in later years and be popular again . Who Knows . Seems the bottom has fell out of just about everything except for the high end items . I believe the older generations who collected so many...
When I came home from the service in 1970 , a short time after being home I was asked by a town folk if I would be interested in tearing an old house down in town for the material . I looked at it and came to the conclusion that there just had to be a lot of good lumber to be retrieved if I tore...
I posted the story of this bottle some time back . I am adding it below in case new people had not seen it before .
Me and a friend of mine got into digging bottles back in the late 1970s . We were digging in an old ash dump on the bank of the Ohio River at that time . We both had opened...
I do not remember if I had mentioned it before , but there is an old dump about six miles from me that was a one time a town . It covered a lot of ground . One odd thing about it though that there was a bank almost right at the roads edge . It covered guessing around fifteen feet from top to...
Hello all , hope all is fine with everyone . I recently picked up this bottle and have been trying to find out some history , rarity , and value , can not find a thing except for a small ad showing the location and info about the spring water in Cincinnati . Possibly put out by Christian...
