Hello,
I was wondering if you could help me identify this bottle I recently purchased. It came from a gentlemen who lived in Seattle and worked in a Naval shipyard. I believe he moved there in 1928. It reminds me of the typical things you find in old insulator glass with snot, amber swirls, whittles and small/large bubbles. The bottom glass stand looks like it could have had a label on the bottom at one point or maybe it was just sitting too long somewhere. It measures 5 3/8" in height overall and the base diameter measures 2 15/16". The pictures I have of it doesn't show the true color of it very much but its close. I'm guessing that it could be an inkwell/paperweight type of bottle used on a ship perhaps? I have no idea what else it could have been used for other than display or for ink. I've seen a few other pictures that suggest it might have been made from the New York State Glass House. I was also told it might be a 20th century(20s-30s) bottle blown by Emil Larson? Any information would be very helpful, thanks.
