Star under pontil embossing

[tazmainiendigger]

Morning all, I wonder if any of the experts on the forum have any ideas on this one! A six sided star under a pontil. I don't believe it is Star Glass Works Indiana because they use a 5 sided star. Zumwalt has a reference to double AA's under a pontil as french, and has a illustration or two of similar specimens a early coffee extract and a spice bottle but does not mention pontil. This specimen measures 6 3/8" X 2 5/8" X 1 3/4". Any comments welcome! Taz[]

hi, the bottle you have is a condiment bottle. The bottle dates from 1830's to 1850's. In good condition the bottle retails for about 20 to 30 dollars. I have had a few of these. Hope i was of help in answering some of your questions, thanks bottles141

Hi Paul thanks for the input! Any clues on the star or glasshouse? I can hardly wait to put it in the tumbler and bring it back to life...[8D] Taz

Hi Taz I also, can find only Starr Glass co using full name above the five sided star.
and two varients of the star but embosed above or below the stars are letters
STAR 1860's to 1900s'
