Need help with this bottle

[IRISH]

Hi LEANBACON, welcome to the forum [] .
I don't know anything about your bottle but I must say that it's the best pictorial embossing I've ever seen on an American bottle [] , one of the best I've seen anywhere actually.

Irish, i'm totally honored to have received such a wonderful compliment from you on this bottle. i just looked at your extensive collection and i have to say WOW!!!! i'm very impressed. Thanks once again

Leanbacon, that's a fan-tastic embossed bottle! I think everyone who has spent any time collecting bottles would about die for that one. I've just spent 3 days digging for anything half as neat, and I'll go back & dig for another 10 if I can find me one of those! Outstanding find.

Thanks so much for the compliment. you guys are awesome[]. I asked earlier if this bottle would clean up nice if tumbled. DEEPWOODS seemed to think so. Does everyone else feel the same? i'm just worried that tumblig will ruin [sm=rolleyes.gif]the embossing on the bottle

 

[diggerjeff]

as strongly as that bottle is embossed , and as thick as the glass is i doubt that it would be any problem to tumble. please have it done by a professional!!. it will not cost much and you will run less of a risk of damage. or just leave it as is , it really is in pretty good shape as it is.

 

[LEANBACON]

Tell you what guys, i will take several close up pics, and i will let everyone give his or her thoughts on whether or not i should have it tumbled. How's that sound? I like the feed back and appreciate all the comments. Please feel free to email me if you think your opinion may stir some dirt with others on the board

go to reggie lynches bottle site, he is forum member (rlynch) http://www.antiquebottles.com/ he has a list of new york bottle collectors clubs posted on his web site . get in contact with these people as they might know a little more about your bottle. always best to check with local collectors. lets hope your luck hold up for awhile!!!

Hi i think that is a nice looking bootle. I found some info on that.The bottle book i got from the liabrary. It has G. B. Seely's Sons clear 11" it looks like it was a Spirits bottle. It does not show a picture of the bottle. I hope this helps some. The book I have is The Standard Old Bottle Price Guide.Thanks Cindi

I have to agree with all here that is one hell of a bottle.........
I have not seen one with that much detail as well as sizing in an embossed glass drinkable beverage.
I thought I`d add the photo of the day it came from the bottom of the St. Lawrence NICE BOTTLE DIVER!!!!![][]
