hi everyone, went digging mon. found a few things. 2 1 pt. sealtest westerm md. milk bottles, 1 1/2 pt western md. milk, 1 qt. tho. carstairs whiskey embossed with harps, small colbalt bottle no embossing. a strange fed. law forbids bottle, it is 4 1/4" tall, 2 3/4" across base, it has a owens illinois mark with 66 to the left and 4 to the right, i know they stop using the I,O, in a diamond in the 50's, i can not find the seam going over the lip. need help with this one. also found a strange nail and a top that is light green and looks like it is crakle glass. thanks for looking, rhona

Nice Finds Rhona, especially the milks. If the 9 does not have a dot following it, I'm guessing 1929. And the mold seams could have been fire polished off after it was made. Especially if it was some sort of decorative decanter made to resemble an older bottle. Maybe some of the other members have seen one like this.

hi buster, thanks for looking. this has me puzzled. i made a mistake in the # to the right it's a 4. if what they say that the factory # is on the left, there is no factory 66. i have read that on f l b bottles that it could be the year, but they didn't use the i and diamond after the 50's. this bottle was down about a 2'. everything there is older. it also has R 535 on base. i have to clean it up better and take a better pic. thanks again, rhona
