Vaseline Glass Perfume Bottle
« on: January 28, 2012, 11:30:32 PM »
This is about 6.5" tall with the stopper.  It was blown into a mold I think and has a ground and polished pontil mark.  It glows well. It looks like there may be some numbers or letters scratched into the bottom of the stopper but I can't make them out.  Any ideas?  Thanks

Anyway, someone told me this was Boston Sandwich glass.  Any ideas?

sorry but can't help with attribution - although your comments regarding scratched Nos. on the stopper might possibly be the factory matching nos.     If you look around the area of the top/neck, alternatively possibly in the area of what you are describing as the "polished pontil mark", you might find identical nos./marks to match those on the stopper.          If it was blown into a mould, then it may possibly not have a pontil mark  -  are you able to find seam marks on the body (indicating it was blown) - and if possible, may we see a picture of the base of the body please :)
