    Illinois Glass?

    Thanks for your comments. Yes, the seam goes to the top of the lip, and yet I agree the base does not look like most ABM products. It even has a few small bubbles that make me wonder when it was made??? It may always be my "mystery bottle" but I'll let you know if I find out more information...

    Illinois Glass?

    I have the attached bottle with clearly embossed panels on both sides: I. C. Co. It would seem to be from Illinois Glass when they had a period (1870-80) of using I. C. Co. rather than I. G. Co.

    What Can You Tell Me About Batchelor's Better Beverages?

    Wow! Thanks for the information!!! I have been getting nowhere looking for "Better" in the name, and while this source you so generously shared with me doesn't mention it either, everything else seems about right. This could be the connection I'm looking for...many thanks!!!

    Mill Hall PA milk bottle question

    Thanks...I suspect your point is on target...a dairy would have to have a very short history to have so little information other than the embossed bottle...I am actually intrigued with the "mystery" as much as with a vintage bottle in near mint condition...kind of fun!
