Champagne bottle age?

RelicRaker · Oct 21, 2017

Trying to determine the age of a 12" champagne. Site has produced some 1880s stuff so am hoping it's at least that old. Here are the images:

1. Profile

2. Kickup

3. Lip

4. Backlit

Thanks for any help!

Could be 1880's but I think I've dug 1930's dumps with similar bottles. LEON.

Thanks, Leon. The site has coughed up bottles from blob tops to Mountain Dew. Did find two BIM slicks a few feet away, but so much earth has been disturbed, the champagne could easily be '30s.Oh well. Still looks good with the clock.

It looks great with the patina. I hope you leave it as-is.

Thx Jim. Yes, she's staying as-is.

I think 1880s is a reasonable guess. The French mastered this wine bottle production early.
