Gilaoro 318 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Dave, Don't you know that "Old Quaker" was good stuff on a cold windy day out there! The beer should have aa "AB" onn the bottom for "Anhoseuer (SP) Bush" The small one was probably asprin and they needed it after drinking some of that stuff, I would date them from the 1930's. I have a brown pint whisky with the original label from the probition days and it has a red stamp on it saying sold by prescription only, I,ll try to locate the picture, just swapped computers.Max Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DolanDave 701 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi Frank C, thanks, keeping an eye out for different colors, finding whole bottles is hard, tons of broken ones.Hey Max, the tall brown bottle says C.C.G. Co with a big 2 in the middle of the bottle, have not really lookedinto what they are yet. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 3,153 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Dave, Some nice bottles!! Here is a site for "Glass Factory Marks on Bottles" all entries are in alphabetical order....this site may not tell you what was in the bottle, but it will get you close to the right age. http://www.myinsulators.com/glass-factories/bottlemarks.html Skip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DolanDave 701 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 HI Skip, thanks for the website, the website shows C.C.G. Co. as:C.C.G.CO..............Cream City Glass Company, Milwaukee, WI (1888-1894). May also stand for Colorado City Glass Company, Colorado City, CO (1889-1893) thanks for the info, I had a hard time looking that bottle up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goldfinger 43 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Just like tokens, some of those bottles are worth a lot of money so it pays to do some research into your finds and join an antique bottle club.Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
