Best Bottle Yet!

Found this today while digging and sifting a dump. Any info on it? I believe it is late 1800s. Says Baby and Hanrahan Windsor Ontario on it. I also found my first seated dime, and an indian penny while sifting. Thanks!

Niiiiiice, man!

Is that top applied? I'd think that bottle dates to around the 1860s or 70s. What a beauty, give us some better pictures in the window light!

Sweet penny and dime, too!

1880-1900 seems about right.... Nice digs

I believe the top is applied. I will try to get some better photos up soon. Thanks!

How would you recommend that I could clean it? The bottle has glass sickness, and there are rust stains on it. Thanks!

Awesome, yeah let's see the base, seams, and top in some nice light. Maybe it's because of the haze or lighting but the style of the lettering or something looks early to me.

That would be awesome! I will try to get some more photos up soon. I have to get my good camera out.

That is super interesting! Thank you so much!

Oh yeah that's applied for sure, I take back what I said about the 1860s though. Heck, even still, I would estimate 1875-1885.

Here is a later Baby & Hanrahan bottle: http://thumbs.picclick.com/00/s/NjY3WDUwMA==/z/F6UAAOSwYIxX-tCy/$/Baby-Hanrahan-Windsor-Ontario-Canada-_57.jpg

I guess there are some even later hutches as well, but I couldn't find your variant anywhere online, and I definitely believe that it predates these. Who knows, yours might just be the earliest known Baby & Hanrahan bottle!

Thank you very much for the info! I hope that it is the earliest known haha!

Sickness can be taken of with a light bottle tumble. If you know someone that has a JarDoctor bottle tumbling machine. Otherwise maybe some toilet bowl cleaner would help. But that stuff wreaks. Sickness is kinda etched into the glass. Hard to get rid of unless you tumble. Jgas

Thanks for the info jgas! I will have to try the toilet bowl cleaner. How much are the tumblers?

 

[RelicDude]

Nice find and color on that one.

You can build your own for under 500. Unless you are planning to tumble a lot of bottles it's easier to send your bottle to someone who is already set up.

Thank you for the info. I would like to make one, but don't have the money. I will have to find someone to tumble my good bottles that I can trust.

There are people with websites that do it. The bottle you posted, is that the one you want to tumble?
