Has old traits, but not sure if really old? Thanks!

so we have narrowed it down to a 100 year span 1840-1940. Hope that helps[]

The thoughts added by the two Matt's also makes sense as the Clevengers did use this color at times. The base is looking more original to me though as Clevenger pontil marks were one of their Achilles heal as they were to perfect and round the majority of the time.. Unfortunately I have seen a ton of the Clevenger work as I am just 10 miles from ground zero where their factory was located. I respect them for continuing a dying entity ( early glass manufacture ). I just wish most of their work would have concentrated more on original to their factory then copying exact molds and items from the mid to late 1800s.When your greatest achievement ( the Clevenger Booz bottle ) is your bread and butter this is how the collecting world will remember you as. A duplicator of originals which can fool you out of large sums of money and then their work is no longer harmless.

Really cool color on that one....Never seen one quite like it, but I'm far from an expert...Thanks for posting it here. and welcome to the ABN forum...

Thanks everyone for all the input! That gives me some avenues. I know that it is hard to really tell without really holding the item. So thank again for your input on my photos.

I have a few other bottles in my collection:

A nice open pontiled and paper labeled essence of peppermint medicine bottle from Mass.

A few blob tops.

1 - pint SC Dispensary Monogram

2 - 1/2 pint SC Dispensary Monograms

1 - SC Dispensary Rum

1 - SC Dispensary Union Flask w/ Tree

1 - 1/2 SC Dispensary JoJo Flask w/ tree

A number of other bottles and light bulbs dug from an late 1800's dump site, including the first type Hoppes No. 9. It's not that rare but cool because I also collect old gun cleaning equipment.

It is pretty neat collecting these old bottles, so many cool designs.

Thanks again!
Jeff

Hey,...Jeff, if you're so inclined, could you post up a pic of the hoppe's? I'd like to see one. Thanks...

 

[screlichunter]

Here's the Hoppe's No. 9

I found this in that late 1800's dump.

Pretty cool!

Thanks! Jeff

I think it's foreign, maybe Italian.
