Thank you for your input. Yes, there is a number on the lower rim, 7 5 as you said, very faint, I believe that is correct. Any thoughts on the double embossing?
This bottle is 9 3/4" tall. Seam stops just below the neck which shows signs of twist. A lot of bubbles. The embossing on the bottom has a double hit showing A B Co with the number 20 below. Any thoughts on age and value due to double embossing.
Very cool pictures and info. thanks so much. It is a neat bottle at least for my collection, I didn't have any of these. I too found a picture of a factory, but with the actual name on the building, P. Van Gents, not Sheidam. It also has or had a large tower in the back. One document stated...
Bought this bottle, 11 1/2" tall x 3 1/4" diameter at a local picker/thrift shop here in Florida for $24. Only found info. on the factory in Holland that has this name on it that likely produced it. Have not found information on the bottle itself, but research indicates it is probably a gin...
It was a Bitters Bottle. Bitters originated in England and was a blend of roots that tasted bitter. Was considered a medicine. Once arriving in America, "we" started adding alcohol. Some brands wound up being 120 proof and became very popular.
