Sunday Flea Finds

Great bottle RD, Id think the ale dates closer to 1850-60s. I've never seen one with a label either. Great color on the handled jug.

The labelled bottle would be commonly known as a black glass beer three piece mould. Labelled bottles from this period are very scarce indeed as no 19th Century bottles are ever dug with any sign of a label intact although early 20th Century bottles with some trace of labels are occasionly plucked from waterlogged anerobic deposits.

Appliedlips has the date correct for this example. Really nice and should do fairly well on the English market.

I would love to see more photos of the other bottle with the applied handle.

Great finds.

Thanks, I put a bunch of pics in the Historic Glass Section . Folks were trying to I.D. it there.
