Congratulations!

If you have any, howz about a couple of more pics - especially one of the base/bottom?

I'm still experimenting - this time with a URL image (selected at random and unrelated to this thread) to see if it will appear in an enlarged format without having to click on it ...

 

[SODAPOPBOB]

If there is a way to post already enlarged pictures that don't need clicking on, I don't know how to do it and beginning to think it might not be possible. ???

Like I said earlier, putting a value on mid 1800s bottles is really not my department because I don't collect them, but based on sales I have seen for the numerous Jeremiah Deegan bottles, I'd venture to guess that your older 1860-1870 L Deegan bottle must be worth somewhere in the $500 range. Hopefully someone with more knowledge about Laughlin Deegan bottles will eventually come along and be able to tell us more about them.

I have just about run out of resources to examine regarding Laughlin Deegan, but I was able to determine that on Jeremiah Deegan's 1880 U.S. Census that ...

1. Jeremiah immigrated to the United States in 1852 when he was about six years old - and assuming that he came to the U.S. with his parents, Laughlin and Mary Deegan.

2. Laughlin was living with his son Jeremiah in 1880 and was 85 years old at the time.

I can't find a death year for Laughlin but know is was sometime after 1880.

If Laughlin did in fact immigrate to the United States at the same time as Jeremiah in 1852, then Laughlin would have been about 57 years old at the time.

If Laughlin was 57 years old when he immigrated to the U.S. in 1852, and listed as a U.S. bottler at least as early as 1860, then I suspect he was likely involved with bottling in Ireland before he came to the United States.

One of these days I will upgrade my Ancestry.com subscription to include worldwide records and hopefully find some records for Laughlin Deegan in Ireland prior to coming to the U.S. I'll bet you dimes-to-doughnuts that he was also a bottler in Ireland!

You're doin' good! How tall is the bottle? Compared to your hand it looks really small.

 

[anj2006]

7 1/8th from top to bottom 2 1/4 across the bottom if i spin the bottle it is higher, the top is uneven!!

You are appointed Bob. Bob is the new surfaceone, especially when sodas are involved.
For those that don't know the reference, surfaceone was a member that had search down to a tee. He has passed away sad to say.

Agreed. Surfaceone (surf) was a master in tracking down info on a bottle. I feel the same way about Bob.
