Old Bottle

[rock]

I found this old bottle last yr. There use to be a old train track back in the 1800s that ran along the river. I found this one in the river while kayaking. It was the only one I saw. Its amazing that there isnt a single chip on it.
Its from Pa and I believe its a soda bottle. Must of been thrown from the train in the river. Found in North Ga.

Hello rock,

It's not a soda. It is, what the bottle guys call, a shoo-fly flask. Most likely held a spiritous beverage, though it might have held any number of things.

Liquor/Spirits Bottles

It was made in Pittsburgh by the Dominic O. Cunningham Glass Co.

"D.O.C……………..D.(Dominick) O. Cunningham Glass Co., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (c.1882-1931). A prolific producer of soda bottles, especially hutches. The mark seems to be seen primarily on handmade bottles manufactured (generally speaking) before about 1910."
