    Question about a PERNOD FILS handblow push-up base bottle

    cc6pack--Wow! fascinating -- so it's from about 1908. Too bad it's not full, since it would have been valuable, and probably been fun to taste -- even if it is still illegal in US -- interesting! So, it's worth under $10.00?? or under $2.00?? mm. wonder why I didn't get the hits using...

    Question about a PERNOD FILS handblow push-up base bottle

    You guys on this board are phonomenal, so I know someone out there knows something about this bottle. I've looked on these boards, and ebay and haven't seen anything just like it. It's handblown (no seams) with an applied 'drippy' lip and applied circular label that says: PERNOD FILS (there's...

    I hope someone out there can help me

    Ahh, Bottlenutboy, that's the problem -- I don't know what it's worth. It belonged to my parents, so to me it's priceless, but I know there's sort of a concrete price. I don't want to try to sell it until I know something about it's value, even on an auction site. If the people that want it...

    I hope someone out there can help me

    I hope someone out there can help me

    Thanks all of you! I made up a little site with, so far 5 unknown bottles, it's at Bredland's bottles. If you send comments about the bottles, I'll post them on the individual bottle page, or if you want, I can post any comments here. I'll also try to add about 5 more bottles each week. Oh...

    I hope someone out there can help me

    Help! I’m overwhelmed with my parents’ bottle collection. They had hundreds of all kinds. I NEED to sell some as the boxes have overtaken my house! Is there a service that can come in, and help me value them so I can sell them for a reasonable price? My Mom just moved to a nursing home...

    What is this??

    MedBottle!! WOW!! Mystery solved -- and it makes so much sense! That's why the 'insert' is oval, not round, everything is explained! Although, I do sorta like Dininit's idea of a grenade also! Thanks to all of you for your ideas! You guys are great![sm=lol.gif] VaChick

    Bottles on the roof? Or bats in the belfry?

    Alan, thanks for the link -- I know someone who is learning to blow glass -- after reading the link, I definitely won't ask him to experiment! I guess I could still take up stained glass or mosiacs, most of these bottles are cracked all around. . . Actually, for the few that did survive...

    Bottles on the roof? Or bats in the belfry?

    Hi all, my father put over 100 bottles on their roof -- for at least 10 years. When we took them down, many had changed to an absolutely beautiful deep shade of purple. However, there were wasp nests or other kind of bugs' homes in many -- and some had a yucky heavy brown glue like...

    What is this??

    Woody -- I'm lookin at this whatever it is, and I don't think it it could be used for getting air out of the jar because the inside oval is hollow. The jar would actually be good for storing tiny donuts with oval holes! Or, for that matter, maybe spiced apple rings with oval holes. . . Are...

    What is this??

    Diginit -- good idea, who knows -- I did look at lots of inkwell sites, and a type used in school look a bit similar, but the insert looks round, but it is close. . . . Ah, well, I guess some things are always a 'mystery'. Thanks

    Quaker Coca Cola?

    My friend sent me the attached picture to see if I could find out any history and the value of the bottle. It is clear, has a crown top, 'Richmond Indiana' embossed around the shoulder, and an 'R' on the base -- there is also coca cola embosed on it (sorry, I didn't write down where). Any...

    What is this??

    I was way off -- I was guessing it had something to do with food -- I guess that's why I could never find anything about it! Now -- to look at inkwells. Thanks VaChick

    This is a small jar with a smooth screw lip, 2 1/2" tall, 3" wide with an oval 'insert' that is 7/8"x1 1/8". It is clear with the following embossing: outside ring:PATENTED UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND SEPT 5 1899 inside ring:MAY 23 1899 CANADA center: 534 The embossing is squeezed together...

    What is this - it's almost a torpedo, but not. . .

    Hi - you guys are so great at taking the time to help newbies like me and I really appreciate it! In my parents collection, I found two bottles that are almost torpedos but aren't. They're green and weigh more than they look like they should. The seams go all the way to the top, so I know...

    is this a RB-253?

    Woody - thanks, I have confidence to move on the the next 50 or so. I hope I'll be able to then figure out the other brands. . . . Again, thanks VaChick
