Hi Rick, I sent you a couple PM's and came back here to tell you that the style of the bottom could have fit in between two wooden guides on the floor of a buggy or a sled, and if placed under a blanket it would make a good warmer for the passengers. I have three other types of buggy warmers in my collection now - but none are made of copper. RED Matthews

That does make some sense. Maybe RR too. Copper is a great heat conductor.

Red,

I sent you a reply to your emails a couple days ago, so you may want to check your spam folder.

Oh heck, I'll give my 2 cents! My first thought was a portable coal holder for heating. Spoon the red hot coals in and I bet it would add some warmth anywhere it was placed. Under a desk while sitting etc. It's a lovely piece!

So you came to a Bottle Forum and your 1st post is regarding a copper urn, color me dubious if you don't turn out to be spammer...[8|]

I cannot figure out what kind of soda pop bottle this is. Can someone please help me? It looks like it’s in English and another language also.

What is this, and if it were yours, what, in the way of repairs, would you do?
