Hello all,
Well day one and I'm not seeing anything that sticks...
Buffallo Hunter, the pitcher's left hand is holding a ball....the cricket bat is just an optical illusion....
cowseatmaize,
Cuba and other countries still make bottles that appear old but may not be.
It's possible it's a Cuban commemorative from RAFAEL ‘RAY’ NOBLE 's induction to the Cuban Hall of Fame even as late as 1985.
Just a thought.
I'm going to keep the Cuban connection under my hat....I'm not seeing it if for no other reason than the ancient-tique of the patina...but...I won't toss it out completly for now....not to throw gas on the fire but I have seen Cuban figural bottles of baseball players...but they represented teams, the the Almendares and Havanas....
