Hi,

Does anyone know of any good bottle sites where I can find out about an old bottle? Or is there anyone who uses this message board who knows or collects old bottles? I think mines an old chemist onion (?) bottle, but dont know anything about it.

Many thanks, Sarah

It measures about 30cm high, the base is about 13cm and the widest part is about 20cm.

Thanks

I don't know any sites but... that bottle reminds me of Bristol Blue bottles with gilt names on the side. :shock:

What colour is it? :?

I'm sure somebody will find a good site for you.

Hi tigerchips,

The bottle is black and when you hold it up to the light you can sort of see through it and its got a green tinge to it. Thanks for the help. Sarah

Its ok now. Found a great site which had a message board too. Gave me some great words for my listing to describe it too - I hadnt a clue, apparently its rather old (late 18th / early 19th century).

Fingers crossed it will sell.

:D:D

Any chance you could post a link to the site you found, or give it to Anne for her yobunny archives? Please?
