Crystal Rock Springs 1/2 gallon lighting stopper bottle.

[Jet Coaster Fan]

I just bought this huge light blue bottle for 10 dollars at a antique shop. It has a white porcelain stopper with the wire lighting bale. It has a slug plate with the words:
Crystal Rock Springs
Water Co.
1/2 GAL.
Stanford, Conn.

The seam stops right at the base of the neck. I do not see this bottle at all on Ebay.

Stanford is a college in California, are you sure it's not Stamford?

There are lots of bottles not on ebay, so that means nothing.. for $10 you probably didn't do bad, but I'm sure we'd all love to see a pic..

Is the half gallon size a unusual size for this bottle? What is the common size for this bottle?

 

[epackage]

Probably a 5 or 6 pint spring water, not uncommon as size goes but I have no idea about that specific bottle.

How to I get a 1 mb file down to 200kb without making it tiny or pixely? I tried using paint to reduce the photo down to 40% but the file size was still too big.

 

[cyberdigger]

Try reducing it again to 60% and see what happens.. if that doesn't work, reduce it again to 80%... it just takes practice kiddo..

I finally got it sized right.
