It is 7 ³/⁴" tall. That's Beautiful! Thank you so much Harry Pristis.
) I found a C. Cleminshaw Troy NY squat blobtop applied lip smooth base aqua. And, I found two black glass cylinders with the milky blue improved refired grafite pontil. well, one is a cylinder, one is an ale possibly or stout.
That explains alot! Lol! Where would you be without those first finds. I love your story. Typical of the times no doubt. I remember making a ramp with boards and cinderblock. We used to jump everything including garbage cans and friends. We never got even so much as a warning. No helmets, elbowed or kneepads. As long as we wanted and didn't kill ourselves anything was game. Even light parachuting off the garage with my bed sheet. I could go on for hour about the crazy things I did. Thanks for the memories.Robby, that is a way cool oldie! Harry gave us some terrific info! My first black glass bottle I got by crawling under the 20" crawl space under my Grandma's 1730's house in Limerock, CT. Way back when I was ten and her house was being renovated. The contractors jacked the whole sprawling added upon house up 20" in order to put a modern foundation under it. That was in 1976. No-one said boo about a skinny long haired rascal crawling on his belly under there for exploring purposes. I was under there for probably 2- 3 hours... getting "stuck" a few times and having to belly back up and renavigate. I found two marbles (there were probably far more than that But, I wasn't really looking for them... didn't even really know back then about antique playing marbles
So, where did you get yours? do you have others? I like the shape of yours, I believe they call that shape a mallet... I don't know if that was industry term or collecting hobbyist term. ... Harry? OPmustard? Leon? Saratogadriver? anyone?

What an opportunity to recover some early bottles!
