" Does this mean four vertical mold sections? "Yes, I've heard 4 leaf mold also.

The molds make some what of a cross, it is a vertical and a horizontal.

$2927.77. Wow. Maybe a record for a non-Coca-Cola crown top?

 

[Nevadabottles]

Maybe, I have never seen a crown top bottle go this high.

All ready at over a grand, sure don't see many four piece mold crowntops, although there is a Stockton brand that was four piece mold National soda works. maybe there was a western retro glasshouse what did all these crowntops??

Yes, the Pacific Coast Glass Works. They made hand blown crowns up until 1923-24. The embossing styles they generally used were very distinctive. Often the crown tops they manufactured had stretch marks, bubbles and general crudity particularly for post-TOC bottles.

Let the expert give us the true facts.....Thanks Jason, I didn't know that the PCGW did those bottles. Isnt it the same company as the SFPC glassworks just in a different time frame??....Andy

The Pacific Coast Glass Works AND the Illinois Pacific Glass Works were two separate glass bottle manufacturing plants working in San Francisco at approximately the same time frame. PCGW was located at 7th & Irving sts, while IPGW was located at 15th & Folsom sts.
