BLACKENED MAPLE SYRUP BOTTLE? HELP!
Hi KentOhio: I'm going to list it on Ebay probably this week. I'll keep you posted when I do. If it looks like it's not going to sell, maybe you could make me an offer. I've found out a lot more about it. There's an identical one to mine at http://www.antiquebottles.com/flask/fame.html...- s3iinc

BLACKENED MAPLE SYRUP BOTTLE? HELP!
Thanks, Julie: I had already decided to list damage, but thanks for the sound advice. If I hadn't mentioned the damage it was when I was just going to use Ebay to get an idea of how much it was worth mint. Now thanks to Doug, I've got that depressing information. Yes, it is beautiful, boo hoo...- s3iinc

BLACKENED MAPLE SYRUP BOTTLE? HELP!
Thanks for the words of encouragement. Yes, I know it's all a matter of perspective. I'm just kicking myself for breaking such a valuable artifact. I'm probably going to list it on Ebay and see what I can get for it. Maybe a dealer like you guys will pick it up who will enjoy it and have some...- s3iinc

BLACKENED MAPLE SYRUP BOTTLE? HELP!
THANKS ALL OF YOU! Your forum is such a treasure of information and help. You guys are so savvy. Thanks, Taz. I checked out that site and two of the bottles look like mine. And what a good idea to list it on Ebay with an outrageous reserve to see how high it goes. Should I mention the damage...- s3iinc

BLACKENED MAPLE SYRUP BOTTLE? HELP!
Eureka! I held my black bottle up to the light and it is definitely olive green! It never occurred to me to do that all these years. I cannot find any lettering unless you need a microscope to see it, it's not there. Can someone please now tell me who made it, maybe?- s3iinc

BLACKENED MAPLE SYRUP BOTTLE? HELP!
Brian: The color you see is glare under a neon light. But I'm going to try to see green tonight or tomorrow in the sunlight. Yes, I think I cracked the neck off in 2-3 big chunks. I would like to get it professionally repaired because all the pieces are there if it will restore some of the...- s3iinc

BLACKENED MAPLE SYRUP BOTTLE? HELP!
Hi Medbottle: I'm going to give it a big once over under some bright lights tonight to see if there is some other color other than black. The hint of color near the break is either the china glue I used or some candle wax. Awful me, I was using it as a candleholder when I broke it. I wasn't too...- s3iinc

Hi Brian: I'll do all the tests you suggest tonight and get back to you in the morning. I'm at my office today. I'll also go over it with a big magnifying glass I have to see if there's something I can't see with my old eyes. Until tomorrow... Susan- s3iinc

To Brian: Me again. There is no lettering. Just a very distinct pattern. Other than my horrible accident, the bottle has very little wear or grinding down of the pattern. The pontil is very sharp and distinct. Susan- s3iinc

BLACKENED MAPLE SYRUP BOTTLE? HELP!
Dear Ron, Brian, bearswede, kastoo, et al. Since I joined your forum yesterday and got such great response, I did a little research too. My impression is they made black bottles back then to protect the whiskey from the light. It is as black as black can be. No other color. All these years I...- s3iinc

Hi Ron: Do you really think I should get it repaired and appraised? Is it that old and valuable? Any suggestions on who to repair it and/or appraise it? I can't believe I found you... Susan- s3iinc

BLACKENED MAPLE SYRUP BOTTLE? HELP!
Hi Ron: You are so nice. Thank you for all the help. Here's a photo of the crack (front and back). It looks like I broke the neck off. The yellow stuff in the crack is wax. I guess I was using it as a candle holder. Shame on me. Where on the web would you suggest I try to sell it? I ran a...- s3iinc

Wow, Ron: Thanks for the quick reply. Here's a photo of the base. Does it still have value? I think it is repairable because there are no missing pieces. I can send you a close up of the crack, if it's worth the effort. Best regards, Susan- s3iinc
