F.W. Jessen Charleston S.C.

glopf43 · Feb 6, 2005

This bottle is in "just dug" condition. It is a nice light aqua color. "F.W. JESSEN CHARLESTON S.C." on front. "THIS BOTTLE NOT TO SOLD" on back. No other markings. I cannot find ANY like it on any of the web-sites. It is pre 1900. It looks to be a 10oz but is not marked as such. I know it needs desperatly to be polished (it has a lot of "sick" spots). I did not want to do any restoration before I find out more about it. Thank You and Keep Digging, glopf43

Thanks digger jeff! I went to this link but alas, it was no help. I will TRY to add a photo to the post. Up 'til now I've had no luck doing this. On the front, "F.W.JESSEN" aruond the top of a stylish "J", with "CHARLESTON S.C." arond the bottom of it (the 'J'). on the back "THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD". The bottle desperatly needs to be restored but it is a nice light aqua. Any ideas of what it might have contained? Who was F.W Jessen? It seems to have seams running up two sides but it is definitly an applied top.
Well I tried to post a photo but can't get it to work!!
