Thanks. Was just curious about who started the cabin shaped bottles first.
I don't know that I have ever heard that question or the answer. Some research on Design Patents might turn up the answers but that would be a chore for one MUCH more online research savvy than I. Good Luck. JimBass Assassin said:Thanks. Was just curious about who started the cabin shaped bottles first.
Thanks Jim.I believe the so called cabin shape came into use all about the same time, early to mid 1860s. There are none I know about that are pontiled, even improved / iron pontil. There are a few that look similar to the DRAKE'S that I believe are earlier than the DRAKE'S but because of DRAKE'S popularity they may be knock offs. The 2 roof design is from the same general era. If one looks through Ring - Ham Bitters book they will discover cabin shapes they never knew existed. As a BITTERS specialist for years I continually discover ones I didn't know about. Jim
