    Question about bottle markings

    Thanks to both of you for the suggestions and information. I'll definitely keep that handy to use as a reference. I've attached a picture of this particular bottle, in case anyone has any additional thoughts or info.

    HB? on bottom of Balt. loop top turned mold

    Yes, with me being new to this, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, so thank you for the correction. [:)] The bottle doesn't have a seam and does show circular (horizontal) lines all up and down the outside (which made me think it was a turn mold). Just inside the top, there is an...

    Question about bottle markings

    Thank you for the info! I purchased that one (and two others) yesterday from the owner of a 130+ year old home that found them under the flooring of his porch. I'm pretty new to this, so I've been reading the forum posts to trying and learn as much as I can. The history is just so interesting...

    Question about bottle markings

    I just purchased a darker amber bottle that has 'SB & G Co' on the bottom of it, for Streator Bottle and Glass Company. I know that they operated from 1881 until 1905 under that name and manufactured beer and soda bottles. However, there is an additional 'C' under the 'SB & G Co' logo at the...

    HB? on bottom of Balt. loop top turned mold

    I recently picked up a bottle (brown/medium amber in color) with a Baltimore loop top and a turn mold design that has an 'HB' (or I guess it could be 'H8') on the bottom, within a square, impressed area. I'm guessing it may either be a beer or soda bottle, but I can't find any information on...

    Masonic Flask?

    Ah, close but no cigar. Thanks for the info, Mike! I can definitely see the difference, but I though I read somewhere today that the ones produced at Sturbridge Village in MA were marked on the bottom to identify them as reproductions. Was that not always the case? Not that I'm...

    Masonic Flask?

    Matt, No, I actually picked it up just this weekend...so I haven't had anyone else look at it and I haven't taken it anywhere yet. I didn't pay much for it, so I'm not crushed if it turns out to be a reproduction. I'd just never seen one before and it was so appealing that it caught my eye...

    Masonic Flask?

    I don't know if I have the lingo correct, but is it possible that this was formed using a post-1850 'snap' case, which wouldn't have left a pontil mark? I was doing some reading earlier on http://www.glswrk-auction.com/149b.htm and happened to notice that this was mentioned in the history of...

    Masonic Flask?

    I have what appears to be a Masonic flask that I picked up recently at an estate sale. However, I'm not familiar at all with how to identify/authenticate it and was hoping someone could help. It is 19 cm high and 7.5 cm across the outside points of the base and a darker blue in color. The...
