Have a Glass bottle
« on: April 27, 2011, 10:43:30 AM »
I cant seem to find any information on this piece. It is a green bottle with a plastic cap that works like a cork. It can not stand on its own, has to be laying down. It's base is wrapped with leather, although the leather is decaying. The only markings I am seeing is on the leather itself, it is three shields. The first shield is yellow with 6 dots, next shield is red with a flor de li, and the next is a white shield with a lion standing up.

Any ideas on its age, where it is made, and the value of this piece?

No specific info, but a couple of "educated" (maybe) guesses.

Plastic top....not too old.
Embossed "leather".....doesn't look extra special.

Can't stand up?  Is it possible this was a "hiking" bottle which
originally had some leather attachments somewhere for a neck or shoulder cord?
Similar to the suede wine flasks of today.

These are only some ideas, opinions, guesses....other people may (and probably will) think differently.

jrossjr79 I don't know if your bottle will be on this site and it does not give values, however I have used it to identify quite a few bottles over the last couple of years.

Here's the link sha.org/bottle/

Good Luck
