Ah the lowly bromo, a little color for a winter's day. The smallest or 2 + 1/2 inch ones have the biggest range of colors. These four inch (ones with the aqua) and five inch also come naturally, but rarely, in colors other than cobalt. None of these are irradiated. I put the amber EMERSON'S...
Bromos are famous for mould errors and yes part of the reason is they made so many of them, it would be interesting to know how many and for that matter which bottle had the most moulds made. Emerson started Maryland Glass Works because the other shops, and there were a few who made bromo...
I posted one I found in this old thread:https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/NOV-16-1915-VS-NOV-16-1916-m212547.aspx?high=1916 No town name only a 4 on the bottom, no heel or other base numbers unless they were where a little chunk of the heel/base is missing, nice blue color.
Preston, you can grow out of anything but once bitten by the bottle bug it will always be part of your life. Think about Erics advice and keep some of your favorites you never know when you might pick up the hobby again. That being said I'd be interested if you have any Pulaski, Tenn bottles...
Always enjoy digging plain quarts and embossed ones are special finds, love big meds. A large one like that with a 1/4 or 1/2 oz. next to it makes a cool pic. Sometimes they are SCA. Yours should read :Ounce symbol (not a 3) xxxii for 32 ounce
Nice Find, I have one but don't use it like I should. I have on several occasions used it to mark where I parked the car and that has come in handy when its time to go back! Another good use is to mark anything of potential interest so you can locate it again, i.e. cellar holes, poss. dumps...
Moving this here because the other post is messed up, moderators please delete the Bromomania!!! post. Recently acquired some great Bromos and also had Matt Knapp, aka the wizard Guntherhess turn my sick oliveish green irradiated bromo back to its worthless but original cobalt blue color! I've...
I reposted this because I was trying to edit the other post and the forum flipped out on me! This is on the same bottle as above and the second E in SELTZER appears like an I or SELTZIR. I have some backwards Z's and some other bromos with spelling errors but have never seen one this...
[attachment=bromo5.jpg] Must have been a bad day for this mold cutter! Instead of putting an I in BALTIMORE he started to cut an H or cut an H and then must have realized the mistake and tied it into the M. Any one have a bottle with combo letters like this?
