Millville Bottle Works.........

Hey Mac, Welcome to the forum. Are your Millville bottles Amber or aqua? The two bottles in question are in colors that are know as fantasy colors and were not common in the 1800s and probably not until the late 1920s. No one is sugesting that all Millville bottles are reproductions but the two in question most likely are.

Yes, please post some pictures, if you can.

Woody, I have one of the dark green ones. I believe that I picked it up at the Rome Bottle show in the 80's. I was told that it was produced in the original mold. This thing is slick, the embossing is weak, there is no wear , and the color just doesn't feel right for the time period. I'll try to get some pics to post. I also would like to see a pic of those bottles that came from under that house also.

Woody, Sorry that it took so long to locate the Millville. It appears to be the same as yours.

I found one these today at a group shop. It is a very conniving repro at first glance. They found a way to make the seam almost disappear from the lip, but the one I saw still had the seam ever so faint.
The dead giveaway that it is a repro is the stippling on the base.
