SC Dispensary Bottle- Grace of God

[SODABOTTLEBOB]

Manzshark -

Did you check your bottle for a maker's mark? If it has one it will help determine it's value. Here are a few marks to look for. At present I'm not sure which are the rare ones and which are more common. But determening this should be a step in the right direction. (Providing your's has a mark).

While some of the S. C. Dispensary bottles do not have bottle maker’s marks, many of them have the maker such as CLFG Co (CL Flaccus Glass Company, Pittsburgh, PA ), CG Co. (Carolina Glass, Columbia, SC), P Brothers (Packham Brothers, Baltimore, MD), EP Jr. & Co. (E. Packham Jr. & Company, Baltimore), Dixie (Tullahoma, GA), and others. The shape of the bottles and the maker’s mark are important to Dispensary collectors and determines their value.

The most uncommon marks are DIXIE and OLEAN

This link should assist you and others in finding out more about maker's marks. But not only on the bottle in question, but other bottles as well. (Including glass insulators). I hope you find it helpful.
