What I know is that Cain-Sloan Co was a department store founded in Nashville in 1903. Not sure if this is a pharmacy bottle (not sure if they had one), perfume, or something else. The bottle is quite small (Indian head penny for size reference). Seams do not go all the way to the top of the...
Was finally able to get an age range for the sign. An avid collector says it was made right around 1910. Have seen 2 versions of it, but neither of them were exactly the same as this one. The fonts are all slightly different.
Thanks for the info, sunrunner. Was thinking it was something like that. Actually thinking it was a toilet water bottle (which is about the same thing). Saw a similar design but not identical.
Somewhere between 1880-1895 blob top quart beer. Nice that the original closure is still there. There is one on eBay right now https://m.ebay.com/itm/Antique-PA-Beer-Bottles-J-C-Helb-York-pA-and-Wacker-bros-Lancaster-PA/123019802166?hash=item1ca48d3636:g:sywAAOSwwBNaqHRf
Don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn't look like it is an original. Here's a link to a great post on how to tell the difference. https://www.antique-bottles.net/showthread.php?311711-How-to-distinguish-E-G-BOOZ-originals-from-Clevenger-Bros-reproductions The key item I see is...
Found in Nashville. Deep cobalt blue (almost dark purple). Seams go all the way through the lip. Think it is a poison because of the ribs. Base is blank except for a small bump.
Don't remember exactly where I found this one, but it was in Nashville somewhere. It has seams all the way through the lip. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bottom has a diamond with a capital I (not L) in the center, and a capital I to the left of it.
Found a "similar" bottle on eBay completed listings https://m.ebay.com/itm/Early-aqua-straight-sided-hand-blown-COCA-COLA-SEATTLE-WASH/332506576105?hash=item4d6aefb4e9:g:aPYAAOSw-xVaS9ij not exactly the same, but probably around the same time period. Not claiming to be any kind of expert.
Have it listed on Craigslist for $250 right now. Won't take a penny less. If it doesn't sell, I've got a rustic cabin in the Gatlinburg area that has a bar room that it will look just fine in.
Got to the bottom layer of an old trash pit in Nashville and found something unexpected. A cool old Coca-Cola porcelain sign (well, half of one). Not sure of the date of the sign, but the bottles that came from on top of it are fairly old.
