One of mine which i think may be related to your`s could be wrong but see a few similarity`s

Not seeing a pontil here Gentlemen if there is one and there is a chance there is it will be visible here shown in red

Thank you Ron that means heaps coming from you

Lucky guess 😉 Another beauty too also like the one in front with the red do you come across many Transitional`s with the extra colour cant say ive seen many pictured in my travels

Great stuff love em beautifully crude and the colour is just something else just wish they were around down here and dont get why there not

back row 3rd from the left would be me guess

Yeah nice well done she`s a beauty

Man they are even better than i imagined & Congratulations on winning them i so much wanted to bid on these but knew there were going to go above what i can afford to put on the shelf ATM so getting to see them after i thought they were gone forever im stoked to get a close up look So Very much appreciated you taking the time to put these pictures up

Under macro there is still a bit in the pitting no big deal looks fine in hand

Can see why you like them mate and think you might be right with the first one can just imagine a little bunch of daisy in there, very much dig the second one she got some style would be a great little condiment on the dinner table love the little pouring lip the third one is cool never seen on off set like that we have a similar one down here with the ribbing that was a fruit cordial concentrate from around the 40s /50s very cool

no mate just the bag

Pretty cool to still have some contents actually the bottle is a an amazing survivor considering would love to see some of the stuff you have found, Down here we used different patents for our carbonated drinks 1873 an English chap by the name of Hiram Codd patented a tool that created a groove inside the lip of the bottle prior to his patent tool it was near impossible to get the groove the same on every bottle in that groove he place a rubber washer inside the neck he put a marble the bottle was filled upside down when the bottle was removed from the filler the marble would fall against the washer and the pressure of the soda would keep the marble against the washer so sealing the bottle to open the bottle you just simply pushed the marble down into the neck breaking the seal these codd bottle`s were used in all of England`s colony's the bottle was expensive to buy so the owners embossed them so they could identify they were theirs and there was many a court battle over cordial makers using bottles that weren't theirs Here are some of my girls bottle`s all 6/7 oz some i dug some i bought far right still has the washer, the tops were put on after the marble was put in, these 5 were handmade blown in a mold by mouth 2 have there tops put on by machine ( Spun ) 3 are applied tops i lovingly refer to this picture as some Australian lions 😉

excellent congrats was so much was hoping some one here got these would love to see some more pics if your keen and get a chance

amazing condition really considering it was probably in the ground for 80 + years guess it was protected by the jar some how and stayed dry staying dry is the key with labels if they get wet the label basically turns to liquid and when you dig them the image is still there but the paper is dissolved looks like paint and just wipes off seen that with 150 160 year old bottles straight out the ground Ive found a few USA bottles here the Ayers sarsaparilla`s and the Aussie version of the Warner safe cure and the new York Vaseline is common me an the daughter have a pretty good general collection between us

No nothing to do with AC/DC and i had to look up what Juxtaposed means Lol i do a lot of digging and black water diving for old bottles Godown is short for go down and get em

🤣

My funky Vitro yellow jacket Duck

That`s a cool picture gunna show my daughter when she wakes up shortly she will love this too

Thanks Jten yes im on there and i do a lot of drooling especially on 5 for Friday Hi Galen yes i see what your saying and the thought did cross my mind but to be honest i think the glass looks old. these guys are maybe to small as well ? i guesstimate the couple in question at 11/16

An interesting lot just went through UK Ebay sold for $1060 US the listing has been deleted but i saved the pictures as i have never really seen a group like this and thought i would share

Finally got a chance to try it out today on a marble i dug out of a trash pit Dave and worked fine 🙂

same here thinking i ts Pelt but is it another Rainbo ?

Thanks guys probably shouldn't have led of with the best one 😀 but here is another from the group
