Hard to see where the seam ends, l am sure the top will fall apart if l try removing.That's interesting, never seen a top like that before. I suspect it's a bit older than the 30s, probably more like 10s or 20s.
You don't need to see where the seam ends, it's got a suction scar on the base so that tells you that it's machine-made. Looks like a fairly early one though.Hard to see where the seam ends, l am sure the top will fall apart if l try removing.
Good information. Still new at this.You don't need to see where the seam ends, it's got a suction scar on the base so that tells you that it's machine-made. Looks like a fairly early one though.
Don't do it! Even those rubber seals on the lightning or hutchinson seals are brittle as you are well aware. I used to think I could muscle things like that ink cap off and it has never worked the way I imagined. Stuff just crumbles.Hard to see where the seam ends, l am sure the top will fall apart if l try removing.
I wanna say that probably is an early watermans by the base. Usually these ones are from the late 1890s to early 1900s. It may be a ground lip screw cap.It is a screw top so probably not that old. (It will be someday)I don't want to remove the top, has nice bubbles. 1930's ?
Yeah, you always think this one will be different. Giddy up ( it's just so tempting)Don't do it! Even those rubber seals on the it's lightning or hutchinson seals are brittle as you are well aware.

I want to stay I found it like this, but I may have tried to open it up when I first dug it up. Either way maybe this will help with identifying as a ground lipI wanna say that probably is an early watermans by the base. Usually these ones are from the late 1890s to early 1900s.
