    bottle with dog shaped head and body

    Ah-hah! I am glad you found the listing with the wine name. Now it's easier for me to look up. I had done a search on Google for "dog shaped bottle" and "dog head bottle" and such, but I didn't find a darn thing! Sometimes it's hard to know what to search on. Thanks again!

    bottle with dog shaped head and body

    Thanks for the info! I didn't think it was quite that old. I had figured maybe the 70s or so. Do you know if it was originally filled with something when it was sold?

    bottle with dog shaped head and body

    OK, I know this is probably fairly recently made and therefore not very interesting to collectors, but I think it's kind of cool, in a sort of weird way. I found this in the basement of my new farm. The bottom has no real markings as seen in the picture. The detail on the dog's head is quite...

    Very dark bottle, 3 part mold, heavy

    Hi Red! Thanks for that great information - that is very interesting detail. I had no idea about the venting and the bottom plate. I am new to all of this bottle information but I find it all very interesting - lots of history lessons! I really appreciate the help! I have bookmarked your...

    Very dark bottle, 3 part mold, heavy

    Stashing his trash in the barn! Must've been out there having a drink with the cows and all. Hee hee! Thanks for the info again cyberdigger - you are a mine of information! I was just looking at some sites for something called "black glass" - is that what this is?

    Light green bottle with deep kick up bottom

    Darn, I thought this one was a lot newer than the dark green one! Foiled again! Ah well, I think the kick up is cool looking, so I will keep it anyway! [:)]

    Very dark bottle, 3 part mold, heavy

    This bottle is an interesting one - hope I'm right that it's pre-1900 but I could be wrong. It is extremely dark glass. Dark olive greenish brown really, but the thing is, I can't even see through the bottle at the bottom - that's how dark it is! (see pic 4, note how you can see through the...

    Dark green leaning bottle

    Yay! I got the age right! I must have learned something in the past week from all of you and the reading that I've been doing! Now I can look up case gin bottles and learn some more. Thanks for the response!

    Light green bottle with deep kick up bottom

    OK, here's another bottle I've been working on cleaning. Sorry for the gunk in it in the pictures. Nasty stuff in there that I can't get out! This bottle is sorta pale greenish colour and 12 inches high. It has no seams on it that I can find. There is a huge bubble in the neck that swirls a...

    Dark green leaning bottle

    I think this might be pre-1900 but forgive me if I am wrong and I will repost in the other section. This bottle is a lovely dark green colour. There are lots of bubbles in the glass and the surface is uneven in areas (see photo 2). The bottle is 4 sided and has a sort of textured area on the...

    Druggist Mackintosh bottle

    It's an interesting property - farmhouse goes back to 1850, but was added onto over time. In addition, there is a farm winery business in the basement, so that makes it a neat place, although I'm not producing any wine yet. There are 4 old barns, a couple of which are falling down. I found...

    Druggist Mackintosh bottle

    Wow! Great info! That is really neat about the Beaver Flint Glass Co. I can see why you like collecting this type of bottle - they are like little nuggets of history and keep alive the names and companies that existed at the time of their use. I thought that the weirdness about the "3"...

    C. Gates Invigorating Syrup

    Great info! Thanks! I didn't find them in a Google search so I was kind of lost on where it came from. Nice to know it's local! Also older than I thought. I'll keep an eye out here for any more of their bottles!

    Essence of Pancreas! (ewwwww)

    Cool! It's maybe older than I thought then! I still am not sure that I would want to sample it, but I sure like the bottle. Fascinating to read about all their digestive products, although I seem to have lost my appetite....

    C. Gates Invigorating Syrup

    Another bottle I found today - nearly 8 inches tall. Rectangular shape. Front says "C. Gates & Co." and one side says "Invigorating" and the other side ways "Syrup." Bottom just has a 12 on it. Anybody know anything about that manufacturer or the "invigorating syrup"?? There was some...

    Druggist Mackintosh bottle

    Found a neat bottle from Oxford, Nova Scotia today. It says "Druggist, A. S. Mackintosh, Oxford, NS" on it. Above that it says 3 VI on the bottle, just under the neck. The bottom has a diamond shape with the words "Canuck Oval" in it, and around the sides I think it says B.F.G. Co. 6 3/4...

    Essence of Pancreas! (ewwwww)

    Today I found a bottle that says embossed on it "Fairchild Bros & Foster, Diastasic, Essence of Pancreas." [:'(] That sounds like just about the yukkiest thing ever! I guess maybe it was for treating diabetes? There is a small A on the bottom. 7 inches tall. Anyone else have "essence of...

    Marsh's Nips bottle

    I seem to have quite a lot of bottles with that mark, which is I suppose not surprising since I am in Canada. I'm on the east coast though, so probably most of them are from the Ontario or Quebec plants

    Newly cleaned bottles! Here's #3

    Thank you! I guess I should have put this one in the "before 1900" section of the forums!
