Hi Rhona; The pluto is worth about $12 here in Southern Indiana. It was bottled in French Lick, home of Larry Bird. If you could show a close up of the bottom I could possible tell you who made the bottle. Just guessing, I would say it was made in Loogootee, In by the Graham Glass Company.
I found this in a local shop and the tag said it was a poison, I was not sure so I thought I would ask the experts

Here are a couple bottles from the French Lick site. The first is a BIM "Prima Tonic" We found several of these. The second is a BIM "The Windisch-MuhlhauserBrewing Co. Lion Brewery Cincinnati, Ohio", the third one is only 2 1/2" tall and is pontiled. The only mark on it is a W on the side of...
I spent several days digging in my "Bermuda Rectangle" read; work shop and found a few of the bottles I dug several years ago, 1969 to be precise. I had located a slag dump for the Graham Brothers Bottling Plant located in Loogootee, IN The one on the left in back is an abm Pluto bottle with...

Just got back from my first hunt in years, didn't make a killing but man did it bring back memories of the glory days. I will clean up what I found and post pix later this evening. Zane, you hit it on the head, it was just a surface site. no depth to speak of. I did find a couple of bottle with...
bottlebabe07; Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Sadly, it is a fact of life, you have to establish trust BEFORE you take anyone to a choice site. One of the ways that I have noticed who can and can't be trusted is to trade sites. you take them to one and the next time it is there turn to...

Nice Puritan Bottle EP. I dug one from the old dump at the Loogootee Glass Works Plant in the late 60's and still have it. It was probably made my ancestors, great uncles and grandfather and great grandfather all worked there at one time or another. I was lucky enough to talk to the last...
