John, I know you can read the embossment, but my old eyes cannot make it out. What does it read?john glassman said:I bought this refired pontil med bottle at tag sale . I found very little info on the net except for where it made no value can anyone help?
It's a BIMAL.... Found one with descriptionHarry Pristis said:The Simond's bottle is not listed in Knapp's 2006 price guide, so it may be a rare find. Anything with "cure" on it is more collectible than the average old bottle.
I have to accept that it's got a ground pontil scar 'cause I can't make out detail in your images. It's pretty unusual to find a utility bottle like this with a ground scar. That treatment was usually reserved for art glass and for specialty items like dresser bottles. I hope someone didn't do that grinding in an effort to "improve" the condition of the bottle - like polishing an old coin.
couple of us was trying to let John know it probly wasn't a Pontil... I think it is a blown in mold applied lipswizzle said:Everything I see about this bottle screams 1890's med and by no means pontiled. Can you take a side view of the lip? You either found someone who has more money then brains or you're yanking our chains here. I wouldn't give more the .75 cents for a bottle like that without a front embossed panel. I've heard the name several times in the past and I seriously doubt its rare. Swiz
