Random thrift shop buy

My g/f has misplaced the camera so I can't post a picture of it right now.

It's a plain clear glass soda style bottle, mold made abd very heavy for it's size. It has a lot of tiny bubbles in it, so small I don't think a camera would pick them up.

Just has "Michel" embossed on it in cursive.


Any clues? I can't find anything on it. Don't know what it is, if it's rare or anything, but the $2 it cost me wasn't going to kill me and the money goes to a local church. I didn't waste money, I'm a humanitarian

Hello Dennis,

Anything like this http://www.mrbottles.com/galleryimage.asp?ID=2779 ?

Was it BIM (blown in mold)or ABM (automatic bottle mold)? (ABM usually has seams up the side). Kind of hard to tell without pictures.

GREAT NEWS!! I found the camera. BAD NEWS the damn cord is still missing in action. Making my life as useless as possible.

It is similar to the bottle on the Mr Bottles website, but not so similar at the same time. The embossing is bigger, not colored, doesn't say La Crosse under it, isn't a taper and the font of the letters is different. It is ABM though, seams all the way up. Nothing on the bottom, but in the bottom edge of the side I did find P G C 3

That can sometimes mean one of the earlier machines, 1900-05 or so.
Angelfire has a good write up of them.
