I bought this at a yardsale today, The woman said it used to be her mother's, It's a green glass bottle bound in what I'm pretty sure is leather - the cork is wood and not glass. There's no apparent markings besides the design, the leather stretches across the bottom so I can't view any markings there. I did try to peek down the neck with a small LED but it was too difficult to tell if there was any markings within the bottle....I only paid 2 dollars for it, so if it ends up being nothing significant I won't feel too bad...but any info would be greatly appreciated!

Well Aumie, For your expenditure I think you got a neat bottle with a heck of a lot of great work having been done on it. I would certainly give it shelf room for just what it is.

Oh, i'll definitely be keeping it around, I've never seen anything like it before, not even at a local antique trade show we have here. hopefully someone here will recognize something about it, I'm really curious as to what exactly was in it, clearly most likely a liquor but i'd love a specific. My boyfriends going to try to bring over a better light in hopes of getting a glimpse inside to the bottom.....I have my finger's crossed.

These held liquor and there are millions of them out there Autumn, without a label there is really no way of knowing exactly which liquor it held....They look nice on a shelf....Jim
