cc6pack--Wow! fascinating -- so it's from about 1908. Too bad it's not full, since it would have been valuable, and probably been fun to taste -- even if it is still illegal in US -- interesting!
So, it's worth under $10.00?? or under $2.00??
mm. wonder why I didn't get the hits using...
You guys on this board are phonomenal, so I know someone out there knows something about this bottle. I've looked on these boards, and ebay and haven't seen anything just like it.
It's handblown (no seams) with an applied 'drippy' lip and applied circular label that says: PERNOD FILS (there's...
This is a bottle I haven't been able to find any information about. Here's the description:
It has a great embossed picture and an applied lip with screw-top threads INSIDE. Age: pre-1900 Color: Aqua Height: 9 Diameter: 2 3/4 in Bottom Markings:circle with a faint dot in center...
Ahh, Bottlenutboy, that's the problem -- I don't know what it's worth. It belonged to my parents, so to me it's priceless, but I know there's sort of a concrete price. I don't want to try to sell it until I know something about it's value, even on an auction site. If the people that want it...
Zanes_antiques -- I have a little site with bottles I haven't been able to find any kind of value, and any comments are their possible worth is greatly appreciated:

I'll add new ones when I can. But, as I mentioned, there are hundreds...
Thanks all of you! I made up a little site with, so far 5 unknown bottles, it's at Bredland's bottles. If you send comments about the bottles, I'll post them on the individual bottle page, or if you want, I can post any comments here. I'll also try to add about 5 more bottles each week.
Oh...
Help! I’m overwhelmed with my parents’ bottle collection. They had hundreds of all kinds. I NEED to sell some as the boxes have overtaken my house! Is there a service that can come in, and help me value them so I can sell them for a reasonable price?
My Mom just moved to a nursing home...
MedBottle!! WOW!! Mystery solved -- and it makes so much sense! That's why the 'insert' is oval, not round, everything is explained!
Although, I do sorta like Dininit's idea of a grenade also!
Thanks to all of you for your ideas!
You guys are great![sm=lol.gif]

Alan, thanks for the link -- I know someone who is learning to blow glass -- after reading the link, I definitely won't ask him to experiment!
I guess I could still take up stained glass or mosiacs, most of these bottles are cracked all around. . .
Actually, for the few that did survive...
Hi all, my father put over 100 bottles on their roof -- for at least 10 years. When we took them down, many had changed to an absolutely beautiful deep shade of purple.
However, there were wasp nests or other kind of bugs' homes in many -- and some had a yucky heavy brown glue like...
Woody -- I'm lookin at this whatever it is, and I don't think it it could be used for getting air out of the jar because the inside oval is hollow. The jar would actually be good for storing tiny donuts with oval holes! Or, for that matter, maybe spiced apple rings with oval holes. . .
Are...
Diginit -- good idea, who knows -- I did look at lots of inkwell sites, and a type used in school look a bit similar, but the insert looks round, but it is close. . . .
Ah, well, I guess some things are always a 'mystery'.
Thanks
My friend sent me the attached picture to see if I could find out any history and the value of the bottle. It is clear, has a crown top, 'Richmond Indiana' embossed around the shoulder, and an 'R' on the base -- there is also coca cola embosed on it (sorry, I didn't write down where).
Any...
I was way off -- I was guessing it had something to do with food -- I guess that's why I could never find anything about it!
Now -- to look at inkwells.
Thanks
