    EARLIEST "CROWN TOP" SODA BOTTLES 1892 - 1900

    My reference to a pontil mark comes from Munsey's book ... am quite aware of the evolution of the glass bottle & the time period of the crown top ... but have always been puzzled by Cecil Munsey's photo & description.

    BLACK GLASS OVOID DEMIJOHN

    What I stated... Red ... was the demi was made in a hinge mold ... most likely a side hinge mold ... because the bottom is bl. gl. & a very shallow knick-up ... very difficult to show ... the rod impression you can feel better than see ... anyway have added a pic of the bottom for what its worth.
