    paul jones bottle?

    Some might want to put it in the "tip." Some might want to stash it away and donate it to their kids in 60 years or so when it might have more value [;)]

    Would these be considered collectable

    Since the labels state "sold by ladies groups everywhere" I'd first check with the church groups to see if they have an interest in them. I'm wondering if the bottles were put there intentionally, as a form of "time capsule object." Also check with the Brownstown, IN museums.

    Ginger Beer?

    I just did a quick search and Swaffham is near Sandringham in the U.K. Here's the link to a map http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/hotels/corfield.html This link is to a bed & breakfast near Swaffham. Try contacting them. They might be delighted to do a little research for you or they may have some...

    Ginger Beer?

    I'd contact the museum in London, U.K. for fun. I'll bet they could direct you to a bottling co. or provide some historical info... and then I'd be searching Africa for some tie. [:)]

    found knox glass bottle on old farm and am curious...

    ...so I decided to see if I could find out what went into this bottle and today I took it around to some of the farmers (one is a sharp as a tack at 91 years old) in my area. Two suggested Pepto-Bismol as they recalled it being in a brown bottle before the blue version. I had it pegged at...

    Twisted aqua bottle 2 ft. tall!

    Would a glass maker design a piece that would stand in their window to demonstrate their skill like a shoemaker might have a big shoe hanging from his sign? Could this be one? I suppose it would have a maker's mark then. Would this be a competition piece for a State exhibition? Were there...

    found knox glass bottle on old farm and am curious...

    O.k., let's try this. By the way, this bottle was found in Ontario, Canada, if that makes any difference. I'm having SUCH fun! I don't know much about Adobe Photoshop, but I have a philosophy, "don't let the machines beat you!" [:)] The raised "glass lines" follow the contour of the...

    found knox glass bottle on old farm and am curious...

    Keystone, yes, that's what is was called on the info I pulled off the 'net. The K is in the keystone. The info I found indicated that the K in the keystone was used for the Knox, PA site, but later also for some of the other manufacturing locations. Actually, I scanned the picture in, so I'll...
