I'm new to all this.....what's a slug? Hope that isn't too dumb a question!
Not dumb at all. When a bottle is made it is made in a mold. If you will look at the photos that are being posted, around the embossing there is circular seam in the glass, which is from a removable plate in that half of the mold. This plate could be changed out for different companies. The use of this PLATE (SLUG) MOLD was a money saving device for the bottle company. In a PRIVATE MOLD the entire half of the mold would be dedicated to only one company. Here is a picture of a bottle without a PLATE (SLUG) and is referred to as a private mold.I'm new to all this.....what's a slug? Hope that isn't too dumb a question!
