Nice to see some interest in window glass. There were many attempts by early glass houses to make a quality window glass
and quite a few failed for a number of reasons. It's well documented that what was called "hollow ware" (bowls, pitchers, jars and bottles)
was produced at these early...
I'm pretty sure the snap case held the bottle higher up on the body.
My guess is that there was some debris in the mold from a previous use
that reacted badly with the hot gather.
I'm afraid not, I selfishly bought it for me.
By the way, great site about your digging exploits and finds. Great article in the magazine also.
I used to do a fair amount of digging in the Boston area and I miss it. No time for it these days.
The bottles on the right and left are 18th century New Jersey possibly pre revolution.
The middle bottle I feel is New England, probably Connecticut, 1790-1810
Thanks for looking. I to am from New England and and early stuff from our area
is what I'm most interested in although I've always liked this stuff too.
