Pour just a little bleach in the bottle. Cover the top with aluminum foil and secure with a rubber band and let it sit for a day or so. The fumes from the bleach will release a lot of the stains.
This is something we found. It's very heavy, very old looking, and really neat. On the bottom it is embossed - CHLORIDE ACCUMULATOR THE E.S.B. CO. First one of these I have seen. Kinda looks like a minature bird feeder
Nice collection. Were these tumbled? What are the colors of the two on the far right and far left? Olive or citron? I have one that looks olive indoors and citron outdoors.
Thanks. I think it probably is from Norway. I tried to use a language translator on the web sites I found. Said the language was Norweigan, but couldn't translate it at this time.
I found this bottle in our storage shed yesterday. It's 9 1/2" tall, a very light olive color and has FREDR.HVEDING OSLO embossed vertically. There are what appears to be measuring marks on the side. Side seams stop at the neck. I suspect some type of medicine bottle. I searched it online...
Thanks for all the feedback. I left the oyster shells on the bottle. I just set up a display case this weekend with a nautical theme. Just wish there was a way to polish the glass so it would display better.
I was going through the collection last night and found this bottle. Searched for hours online and the only thing I know for sure is that West Hartlepool is in England. Any history on this bottle would be appreciated.
Front embossing:
IMPERIAL
JOHN BARKER NORTHEASTERN HOTEL WEST...
Thanks for the info. Still not sure about the bottle. I'm at my office now and don't have Huggins book here, but I believe all of the quart SCD's have glassmaker marks. No marks on this one.
I have a quart SCD bottle that is #303 in Huggins book. There is no glassmaker's mark on the bottle. Huggins refers to a "Flaccus mark". Does anyone know what that looks like?
