Darn good bottle! I'm not sure if you got my PM a couple weeks back, but I am in Columbus currently and would be happy to help you sort through your collection. As a collector of Peoria items, I would have nothing to gain by helping you aside from good conversation and the thrill of exploring boxes of old glass.

All, Thank you all for the wonderful information, I will fill in the blank when I make a decision what to do with the bottle. Thanks, Tom

HELLO TOM, The big thing is to tell you that bottles that have no vertical seams on the finish are hand - mouth blown early bottles. The next thing is for you to realize that hand blown bottles had to have a handle put on the bottom of them so they could be cut free of the blow pipe. So you would need to know the different methods of applying that handle. Some study is important. RED Matthews If you want some of my newbie advise send me an email.
