I live deep in the country. I was told that before the house on our property was built, the entire area was used by sheep herders. I noticed our property had quite a few ravines - and where there are ravines, there things that fall into them! So I quickly scouted out all the ravines. I found one big boring clear bottle, with the top smashed off long ago. And, I found a peculiar little screw-top bottle (top missing). I was instantly amazed at the craftsmanship. It is a -beautiful bottle-!
It is in perfect shape, and almost 7 inches tall. Holds about 1+3/4 cups of fluid, and the moulding seam goes through the lip. The glass feels quite thick, and strong. On the bottom it says:
DES.PAT.159616
3142
MG 18
Whether or not it is worth a single cent, I quite like it, and currently use it as my little whisky flask. It is so much more stylish than a big clumsy, hard to clean, metal flask. But, I am very curious as to its history (and if it is worth anything).
Thanks in advance for your replies!
