Hey Lukas,

That's a wonderful bottle! What is the legend? Is it a children's "medicine"?

Well done, sir.

Welcome, Lucas!
The item that is marked as a Christmas tree bauble may be a target ball. Could you post the markings that are on the band which circles the ball?

I agree about the Target Ball
Yes, It could be. There is only information about Glas Fabrik -glass factory, I found today small part from another one. There was lot of hunters in my city, so...

What is the legend? Is it a children's "medicine"
There was a sentence on the bottle: "occidit qui non servat" - killed who does not keep. There was a medicine inside, but iI think for everyone.
Mr Twardowski (for you Tvardovsky) was a polish guy in XVI century and he sold a soul to the devil. The devil said, that he will take the soul in Rome when he (devil) will say his name, so Twardowski all his life was in Poland :) But one day he arrived to the pub/bar and devil was inside. The pub's name was "Rome" :-o Devil took Twardowski and they were flying (somewhere), but Twardowski said, that devil doesn't know his name, because nobody knows! The Devil let him go, but Twardowski was very high on the sky, so he was landing on the Moon. He is there and watching us :)))

Something familiar? Try to click on the photo, it should be open in a big size.


Does your "bauble" look like one of these
YES! Thank you for the webside! I love this place :-D

Hi and yes, anyone is welcome!
Anyway, try the directions here. https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Posting-pictures%2C-making-links/m-383099/tm.htm,
If you use a different browser than the ones shown, let me know, maybe I can maybe help.
Again, welcome and that's some nice things I'd be interested in learning more about.
I also agree that the thing mentioned does look like a target ball and puts it nearer the time frame you mentioned.
