Hi,I'm new here.My husband is an avid bottle collector. Recently,I purchased several from a local antique store. The owner of the store bought the contents of an old barn in Key West Florida,this was among them. A clear bottle with script writing on it that says "Lewis 66" ,under this writing,in regular font,it says Strauss Pritz & Co. Distillers,Cincinatti,OH. The seam on the side does not run all the way to the lip. I also purchased a bottle that is believed to be one of the earlier "Codd" bottles. It is Light aqua/clear with a blue marble on the upper chamber. On the bottom chamber it says " Codd's Patent Bottle Extra Strong Glass" It has a raised heart shape under this,that says "Darwin" in the center.But,on the back,it has a label that says "Tested at 150 lbs per sq inch" ,and in the center it says "Mahalakshmi Brand" And the label is red. I don't know if this is a reproduction,although I suspect so,since the label and bottle are both in such good shape. Thanks for any info anyone might have!!
] I doubt many people would pay $2 for the empty bottle.[
