Red, do you know where I can come across a wine bottle mold that is able to be hand blown?

I have an old glass Arrowhead water bottle that has a slant on one side so that it can lay on its side in the fridge. It is a very light green in color. I know it is at least 50+ years old. I cannot find any information on the bottle at all.On the front is a raised arrowhead.On the bottom , is a diamond pattern all around the border. Also,it has "ARROWHEAD & PURITAS WATERS", I (with a circle around it), Duraglass, L0S ANGELES, CA, PAT.APP. FOR,REG. IN CALIF. It is a 1/2 gallon size
I even contacted Arrowhead Water themselves, but due to the economy, they don't have an archivist anymore.Can you help me out to the value of this bottle?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Jen

my mother passed away about 5 years ago and left me her collection of about 500 bottles ..All shapes and sizes. She dug them herself…mainly around old churches and Indian mounds in the delta of Mississippi….If anyone could tell me a person I can contact that would observe my collection that would be wonderful!!!

I have several old (pre & post prohibition era)bottles from an estate that was a working dairy farm in southern CT in the 1800 to the turn of the century. Among the bottles that are a mystery to me (I am learning about these slowly!) is a 1 G V AYELENSE in raised lettering surrounding the top segment of the bottle where the cork would have gone in, and just a C on the bottom – also embossed. It is medium green color glass with a seam on each side that goes to the top band where the writing is. It has numerous bubbles in the glass and the bottom is uneven inside. It is an off jug type shape with no handle, and the bottom is slightly smaller than the mid section and then it narrows immediately to the neck. I also have a 1/2 pint ( possible pint) clear glass flask with raised embellishment decoration on both sides, the cent4er of one side has an oval with a man's face in it – wearing glasses – and the bottom in script it says Harry (Henry?) cannot read the last name – both Jr. & Sr – the face has an embossed log cabin on one side and another decoration o the other – clearly a whiskey or bourbon (I think bottle) but not positive. I have many others, but I thought I'd begin with these 2.
Many thanks for your time
Karen

Hello…good site, thank you.

My dad has an antique or vintage (not sure of exact age, but he's had it at least 40 plus years) wooden bottle–it's the size and shape of an old 'coke' bottle, but it made of wood.

Is this a mold for a cola bottle ? I don't see any marks, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

I find it interesting, and would love to know more. Thank you for your help and consideration.

Yours,

Dana Wyckoff

Hi,
We are renovating our old house (1920 ish) and we found an old bottle of wine, empty, behind the walls. Was there some kind of tradition back then when building houses? Other people in my village have had the same discoveries in their houses.
Thanks

Have you ever heard of Archer and White Bottling of Cold Spring Long Island? Can't find a thing on them for a green bottle with bubbles in it. THanks.
