I've always been interested in mistakes and other poor quality issues in bottles. Color blending or swirls embossing errors and poorly applied tops. I enjoy finding mold repairs and backwards letters the like.
So, here's a couple of examples...
So, the first two pics shows a Horton & Richardson with a Baltimore look lip finish with a quite obvious green or olive swirl.
The third pic is pony from August Koch from Hoboken, N.J. - on the back the original "This bottle not to be sold" has been filled in to make it disappear but not enough because it still faintly shows below the new embossing that states "This bottle must be returned when empty".
last pic is difficult to see - sorry tried many pics, anyway it is another little pony J. Degenering Red Bank, N.J. The message on back reads "THIS BOTTLE _OT TO _OLD", the N in NOT is just a sunken indent and the BE is completely missing.
Just a couple to illustrate my theme here... I'll be able to find more to photo post later.....
