    ~Yeah, Robby we both have the same example , tho Your embossing is far sharper / clearer than what I got which suggests to me yours is earlier with less heat and maintenance wear on the mold. Super nice find my friend! ~Fred

    This is what I was responding to Robby, the arrow and banner is The Smith Trade mark. It's meant to replicate or represent the old manner of hanging a banner from a pike shaft. ~Fred

I've read and reread through a few times now and awhile ago. This is the second time it's been posted, that I know of (maybe more). I'm wondering if there is a...

    Did I just find what I think I found......... At the Goodwill?

    It is a nice one... Almost certainly of English or Irish manufacture. I clearly see the gloppy glass of an applied lip finish. that plus the uneven bottom and shoulder indicates fairly early manufacture 1850's -1870's possibly a dip mold, the last photo shows bumpy glass not the high gloss of a...

    Ghost Labels

    Nice and clean example there! it's more than likely a combination of things happening. ~first, as I understand it, there is some acidity in the paint used to apply the logo and advertising on the bottle. ~ second the ground may also have a high acidity level (possibly tannic acid from evergreens...
