I actually sold it about a year ago, since I really needed the money. I can't say I regret it now, but maybe in a couple years when I get a collection going I will. Here's a picture of it just cause.
Thanks guys I appreciate the input. How can you tell about figurals? I mean, with no markings, how can you know where to start besides "hand with torch figural"?
Ha. I'll let you know when I become famous. I actually got interested because my wife bought a bunch of old bottles at a garage sale in her hometown in the panhandle of Texas. Among those bottles that she bought for a dollar each was an amber Indian Queen Bitters. We just thought it was super...
Thanks Jay for the advice, I'll be getting out there soon to see if I can find anything! One more thing, how old are the bottles that you find? Anything from the 19th century?
I learn more everyday, thanks guys. I started looking up seltzer bottles and found a lot of very similar bottles. I like the color and shape of the bottle too, and the weight and size gives it some character :)
Hello all,

How can you tell if it comes from south of the border? I thought that if a piece of glass had a pontil scar, then it would date around or before 1860s. Just wondering.
Not too sure what to call this. I don't know anything about this piece, expect for it looks old, and has a deep pontil scar. If anyone knows anything on the date, maker, type value or any information it would be great to know!! Thanks!!
