Help with Bottle Info. Please, Thanks

[reneeg255]

Hi there:

I am helping a friend that has found some bottles and wanted more information on them. I have done much reading at the SHA site and many others to determine dating and typing, however, I get lost reading and haven't gotten very much to offer my friend and I'm heading over to give the bottles back today and wish I had more information to offer him.

Here is the details of the bottles:
Found in Roatan, Honduras
Base of amber bottle does have embossed LG Co 21
Measurements:
Bottle Height: 9-3/4†or 24.76 cm
Neck measures 4†Base measures 2-1/2†1†for top opening
1/2 inch length collar with ring
Green Bottle Measurements: (also found in Roatan, Honduras)-This bottle has no side seams, it has a horizontal seam that is about 6" from the base. ons */ @font-face {font-family:Helvetica; panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536855809 -1073711037 9 0 511 0;} @font-face {font-family:Wingdings; panose-1:5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; mso-font-charset:2; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:0 268435456 0 0 -2147483648 0;} @font-face {font-family:"Arial Unicode MS"; panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4; mso-font-charset:128; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1 -369098753 63 0 4129279 0;} @font-face {font-family:"@Arial Unicode MS"; panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4; mso-font-charset:128; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1 -369098753 63 0 4129279 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} p {margin-right:0in; mso-margin-top-alt:auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:0in; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial Unicode MS";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} /* List Definitions */ @list l0 {mso-list-id:701708135; mso-list-type:hybrid; mso-list-template-ids:1537398054 -1899735364 50902670 -466818158 -742776810 1445740036 -1405438518 -1430345400 -1305685384 -249647152;} @list l0:level1 {mso-level-number-format:bullet; mso-level-text:; mso-level-tab-stop:.5in; mso-level-number-position:left; text-indent:-.25in; mso-ansi-font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Symbol;} @list l1 {mso-list-id:1960379766; mso-list-type:hybrid; mso-list-template-ids:1020681328 -1875355270 52200604 -13839848 1859398202 2100984830 649887392 820307502 -738344 -460316530;} @list l1:level1 {mso-level-number-format:bullet; mso-level-text:; mso-level-tab-stop:.5in; mso-level-number-position:left; text-indent:-.25in; mso-ansi-font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Symbol;} ol {margin-bottom:0in;} ul {margin-bottom:0in;} -->  12†height or 30.48 cm 3" Push Up or Kick Base Bottom-

What is this?

[font="sans-serif, arial, helvetica, geneva"]L.G.CO.................Several factories used this mark. They include: Lindell Glass Company, St. Louis, Missouri (1875-1890), mark seen on export beers, wax sealer fruit jars, blobtop soda bottles, etc; and Lyndeborough Glass Company (often spelled Lyndeboro), South Lyndeborough, New Hampshire (1866-1888), mark is seen on whiskey flasks and various other bottles. The "L.G.CO." marking on Lyndeborough flasks is usually arranged in a circular formation, or with the "L.G." and the "CO." at opposite ends of the base with the circular mold seam "button" between them. William Brantley, in A Collector's Guide to Ball Jars (1975), stated that Loogootee Fruit Jar Company, Loogootee, Indiana (1901-1904) produced wax sealers with the "L.G.CO." basemark, but I haven't been able to discover any evidence to back that up. In any case, the initials do not correspond exactly to their official company name. My own opinion is that all L.G.CO.-marked wax sealer jars are products of Lindell. Other wax sealers with a similar profile (a slightly more angular shoulder and a taller neck area) are found which are marked "LINDELL GLASS CO." on the base.
Also, concerning later period machine-made milk bottles in clear glass: Lamb Glass Company, Mt. Vernon, Ohio (c.1920-1964?) can now be confirmed as the source of milk bottles marked "L G CO / 52" (See entry on L-52 mark). These appear to be from the 1920s-1940s period. Jeffrey Giarde, in his book on milk bottles, stated that this mark was likely that of Liberty Glass Company, Sapulpa, Oklahoma, but I believe this to be incorrect. Another factory that has been confirmed to be the source of some, if not many, milk bottles marked "L.G.CO." was Lockport Glass Company, Lockport, NY (1900-1919). An extant catalog proves this to be true. The initials are often accompanied by a single digit number, such as a "1". Anyone who can shed more light on the question of the L.G.CO. marks on milk bottles is invited to contact me with any info you have! I would also appreciate hearing from anyone with more info on Lindell or Lyndeboro' and any bottles you have that are attributed to them. Note: I'm aware of absolutely no evidence that the Louisville Glass Works ever used this mark, as Julian Toulouse proclaimed in Bottle Makers and Their Marks (1971)

..the green bottle is probably a wine bottle.. looking forward to seeing pics, that will definitely help!
