Topic: Hadeland (Norwegian) signed bottle. - Willy Johansson

[Paul S.]

something from this morning's charity shop outing  -  it might be in one of the Pina volumes but I no longer have either, so would appreciate if anyone is able to offer information regarding approximate date and to whom the initials might belong.
A sort of translucent dusky brownish/grey, with quality polished base and little wear, so assume not very old, but could be wrong.
About 10 inches tall - c. 255 mm  -  attenuated perhaps?                   thanks for looking and apologies for the dirt inside - I did knock out the dead spider though:)

Nice find.

The initials are likely to be for Willy Johansson. Not sure about the date, although I would suspect 50s or 60s.

Appreciate the quick reply  -  the base looks so clean and unscratched that I suspected it to be far more recent that you're suggesting - not that I have a problem with 50s or 60s  -  in fact the older the better.            I suspect that most of the charity shops wouldn't be aware of the names of Scandi makers - so price them cheaply  -  this one was £1.50           Many thanks.
