[QUOTE="Tanya, post: 413916, member: 8340"][ATTACH=full]144279[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]144281[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]144277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]144278[/ATTACH] Hi! I found 4 glass bottles at an estate sale. They would seem to be made in a Owens Bottle Company machine (based on the suction mark) but the mark is not right: it has a narrow diamond (not a square) and the mark inside the diamond seems more of small square than a “O”. A few additional notes: - the bottles are all basically the same but vary slightly in color and thinkness (the manufacturing process was not perfected like on a modern bottle) - the base of the bottle is uneven thickness - the glass stoppers are “broken off” / roughly finished on the bottom - there are many bubbles of varying size I don’t expect these to have any real value but I’m having fun researching! Please share your knowledge, I want to learn more. :-) Please excuse the photos being from my bed, I’m not feeling well today. Thanks!!![/QUOTE]
