It has the words Oak Orchard Acid Springs on one side and Address G.W. Merchant Lockport N.Y on the other side. I got it for 15 dollars. It seems to be worth a whole lot more than 15 dollars. The neck seems to have a vertical seam that goes from the horozontal seam around the whole bottle that is just below the words. to just below the double beveled mouth. The mouth seems to be a separate piece that was mounted to the neck. The whole bottle seems to have a lot of whittling and a big bubble too.

Can we please assume everyone wants to see a picture whenever anyone posts a question, or a recent find, or a potential antique store purchase? Thanks to all.

Well I started a memo to send to you and the blank blank system quit quit working. You talked about two part neck seams, so I thought it might have been a three part molded bottle. So the text got elimoinated. Some water bottles made in this time frame were. Going back I seemed to see some dots on the low shoulder. This didn't happen often on a three part molded bottle. Something that did happen on them, was cold mold ripple in the dip mold part of the set0up. WEhat did happen was cold mold ripple in the glass thickness of that part oif the bottle. I couldn't see evidence of that glass in your picture The iron of a dip mold could not be chilled, because thet could not knock the chilling metal out of the casting, in the foundry. Was there lettering om the shoulder? I would love to study it. RED Matthews

The lettering on the shoulder IS Oak Orchard Acid Springs Address G.W. Merchant Lockport N.Y. There is no other lettering.
