IDX Classic SL-x2....Excalibur1000
Dug earlier this summer in an area where datable finds ranged from 1890-1930ish.
Bout seven inches...more green than aqua....twelve sided.
Body is two pieces...neck is two separate pieces...top ring makes five.
Only marking is mold number on bottom...452'
Probably not that old but a neat bottle regardless....any help would be appreciated....Thanks....Joe

Grandma's snuff came in a jar like that before they started putting it in a water glass suitable for washing up and using it in the kitchen. (Garrett Snuff)? Monty
