Hi Sam. Haven't seen you around here lately. The Big Hit bottles from Nacogdoches and Center Texas show up regularly at the Houston bottle show for under $20. They are not rare but not real common either.

Oh, I didn't notice this original post was from 2008. I guess Sam is NOT back.

9 <(I)> 4

Owens-Illinois Glass Company

9 = Plant #9 Streator, Illinois

4 = Most likely 1934 (Owens-Illinois was founded in 1929)

A situation where Owens-Illinois secured a Graham Glass patent.

Graham Glass Company, Evansville, Indiana; Loogootee, Indiana; and Okmulgee, Oklahoma (1907-1929). Another plant location also was operated at Chekotah, Oklahoma until 1923. Graham owned by Owens Bottle Company after 1916. Plants became part of Owens-Illinois in 1929.

How are your two bottles marked on the heel and base? I'm curious if they are the original Graham bottles or the later Owens-Illinois bottles.

Thanks
