I find nothing on this cruder machine-made bottle's history. It's Jolen's Distilled Bott. Wks. of Ansonia.

I'd think it from the later 1910s.

I was hoping for a start/end date and products put out by the company? Anyone seen this one before?

If I gave you info on your bottle you know you would then be obligated to sell it to me for what ever I want to offer. Isn't that the way it works in here?

it's not uncommon to come across crude semi automatic machine made bottles . they were made starting around 1905 until the fully automatic tuck over by 1915 or so.

I'll give you $1.00. I never seen one before but that's all it's worth. LEON.

I'm betting it's worth at least $5. Can't find anything on the company. Has great character.
We'll see what the Connecticut people say.

I had a Philadelphia beer blob I could not find any info on. Nobody heard of it or know anything about it. But I was told it was pretty much worthless because Philadelphia produced so much that it'a all common & nobody collects it. LEON.

Cool bottle, bear! I found nothing about it after a thorough search. Maybe, $8-10, tops? Does have a lot of character! Found this corked lined soda top from Ansonia , Ct. I started a top collection , so if you find one , I'll gave a dollar for it!

Hemi, Ansonia has under 20,000 people and has a lot of history due to the clock industry that existed there. Philadelphia, with over a million and a half people, has a lot of history, but it also has a lot of bottles. Ansonia has not a quarter of the number of bottles.

I have a few bottle caps that are cork-lined, Creek Walker. Just words, no pics, though, and not from Connecticut.

I'm really hoping to just know when this company was around, what it did, and how commonly seen these are.
