Too large even when I cropped away 70% but it's probably just my phone...

It sounds like Gooderham and Worts. Does it have G&W or similar on it?

I think it's a prohibition era bottle, there were lots of Canadian distilleries that operated primarily for illegal export to the United States. I've never seen this particular one though, the United Distilleries bottle from Vancouver is much more common.

Always thought that was a cool bottle , have a couple of them but I do not remember mine having any embossing at all except for maybe the bottom , haven't looked at them in ages . Mine are both amber , dug a large one years ago , regretfully it was cracked pretty much all over .

Mine is clear glass. It's by far the favorite bottle in my collection. I collect for attraction value and the effort of discovery not for monetary value nor resale. It's just nice to know whether I should be putting it on a higher shelf where my kids can't reach it.

The diamond and circle always relates to Owens Illinoi poducts for me.RED Matthews

So I guess the thread stopped here. I collect all kinds of glass products - but I concentrate on the glass that was hand blown with a blowpipe. I am always looking for the process of making clues of what was done to make the item. Pontil Marks, tooled finishes, mold venting, mold repair , and the glass pinch creations where the parison is caught in the closing mold, and created a pinched flat half leaf form that dropped into the mold, and when the mold was again closed the bottles parison blown our the half leaf is stuck to the surface of the produced bottle. It is something we didn't have to worry about in the modern glass making world I worked in for several years. RED M.
