They do look like birds Dan,...I liked that bottle when I first saw it...very cool.

Here's the lone birdswing/ glass droop in my bottles right now,...This slump of glass inside is very thick (over 1/4") and is on the insside of a glueback "Oak Orchard Acid Springs" bottle.

Remember Red Mathews ,always enjoyed his posts on the forum. Here is my favorite Birds Wing bottle. Open pontil umbrella ink with a vertical birds wing. Had it lightly tumbled to show it much better. Glad it did not break.

I dug this bottle the other day and it was filled with dirt. When I took a bottle brush to the inside, I broke the birdswing. The effect was 2 birds with long beaks, one right side up and the other upside down. To me they look like hummingbirds. I really like the bottle.

That is an amazing piece of glass. It is it’s unique charactered personality. How big is this piece and do you think it’s a food bottle like a Horlick’s malted milk or such? Really rustic and crude, I love those traits in a bottle.
