Default Help identifying glass bottles.


Folks,

Can anyone offer some expert help identifying some glass bottles?

I've posted a photo of them on my website:

www.nyx.net/~wboas/bottles.html

I've had them about 15 years and have had various opinions.
by non-experts offered. They're either very old or a newer
experiment in elementary glass blowing. I'm not an expert but
they seem hand blown.

One is 8.5 inches tall, the other 8.375 inches tall. They are
about 2.75 inches across the widest part, but both are not
equal in width, nor are they quite the same width across the
diameter as one calipers in different places. Both have a
longitudinal mold line. There are no marks, numbers, or any
hallmarks of any kind. The glass has many air bubbles in it.

They hold about 10 ounces of liquid allowing for about one inch
of air below the top.

Thoughts anyone??

Bill

They are very old. They pre-date the Codd's bottle, with the marble. The
History of Glass archives have plenty of similar examples. You might find a
picture on the net at one of the museum sites.
