Just thought it had interesting shape and top didn't clean it up yet

Looks to be a case gin bottle

Looks like Gibley's gin without the label.....Joe McDonough

 

[RelicDude]

Interesting I have never seen a clear case gin before. But that's one crude bottle.

 

[unclemac]

is it surf tossed?

 

[jtw1313]

I'm going to clean it up in a bit. Unclemac not sure what that is

 

[SkaBa]

is it surf tossed?

Was it found on a beach or in the water.

 

[jtw1313]

I thought that was what it meant not sure if it was I found it in a old cellar

 

[Bass]

Definitely a case gin.... An older one, with what looks like a pontil scar

 

[jtw1313]

Cleaned up a little

I got this because the top looks so old and the pontil is odd to. Ive never seen a clear one either

 

[RelicDude]

That cleaned up nice. Does that have a slight citron hew to it? And it has some real age to it with that pontil scar.

 

[jtw1313]

No hue but the pontil and top are really odd

 

[jtw1313]

Here is another view of pontil

From the side of the bottle

 

[jtw1313]

It almost looks like this bottle was used over and over and the top was repaired for use

 

[RelicDude]

Case gins in general are very crude bottles.there's no repairs it's just has a very messy applied lip. And for the most part these bottles were made in Europe. It's a nice bottle.

Definitely a case gin. Prob late 1800's. I have 2 myself in dark green.
