The number on the Squirt bottle looks (to me) more like a 6 than a 5, maybe Mstepuraa can confirm which number it is. :)
That bottle could be as old as me (yikes). :oops:
Considering the bottle's shape (odd corners, pontil etc) and the extent of the leaching damage I thought it came out really nice.
Many thanks to our friend from Tennessee for taking on a challenging shape to tumble. :)
A nice smooth concrete cellar or basement floor can make a ground lip out of a jar that doesn't have one.
I'm sure seasoned jar collectors can tell the difference between real and a faked grind, but maybe not for new collectors.
Definitely a candidate for the X files.
Maybe the person who blew this example had to pause or sneeze and took a breath before continuing the process?
I've never seen such an example before.
where's the head scratching emoji?
There's some red text between the logos that states the contents are an artificially colored solution, so I'm going to guess that it is an advertising piece.
Kinda looks like a Guillotine embossed on that bottle from what I can make out from the pictures. :eek:
I'm sure it's not though.
Oh!
It's a girl on a swing.
Never mind.
Crystals?
I suspect they were looking for olivine crystals too.

Pharmacy Bottle
Found this bit of info.
" Fred S. Cassidy was a pharmacist in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, known for his antique druggist bottles from the late 1800s. These bottles are quite rare and often sought after by collectors. They typically have “FRED S. CASSIDY, WELLFLEET, MASS” embossed...
From what I can Make out it's Canidy, but cursive on bottles can sometimes be hard to decipher.
The bottle is 5 3/8" tall with a sunburst on the bottom. In very tiny letters it says 4oz just above the slug plate.
