Crown Top.... This one sold at auction for $160 in 2007

Thank you Jim, that answers that question.

a nice bottle but doesnt seem like worth repairing unless its a temp. fill in in your collection.

Here is the whole lot found in the hole (with the exeption of the paper labeled Scott's cod liver oil which was given by a freind). They all seem to be around the same era, I think? You tell me.

Looks like 1910-20.. you should have the Coke bottle made into a drinking glass.. []

a drinking glass! That's a cool idea. Who does such things?

You can buy a BOTTLE CUTTER online, they're not expensive.. then all you need is sand paper, and: cheers! []

could you not flame the edge? Or is that a BIG No-No on old glass with air bubbles?

I never tried it.. anyway, because of the position of the embossing, I think it would be a great candidate for this..

............ if ya want to cut it for a glass and don't want to buy a glass cutter, you can use a shoestring to cut it with.

Works just as well, and harder to belive.
