Clear Bottle with HS in a circle

edited March 2017 in Question and Answer
I found under an old house floor a bottle with H over the letter S in a circle about 2 inches round. It's about 10 1/8 inches high. Seam goes up to bottom of neck. Rectangular in shape. Will soon post pictures of it. I found some info on it, Twitchell and Schoolcraft NH . Any info would be appreciated until I post pictures. Thanx

    Careful not to jump to quick conclusions - my hunch is that your bottle is not related to the Keene glassworks.

    Post a photo and we would be glad to assist.

    got some photos of the bottle, hope it makes some sense, bottle needs cleaned if there is any value.

    Forgot to mention the emblem on front is 1 3/8 inches in diameter and the only markings on the bottle other than the fancy piece under the top. Thanx

    Hi

    I can say based on the shape this is a whiskey bottle - it's either a fifth or a quart. Age-wise figure either very late 19th c. or early 20th c.

    As for the HS monogram, that is going to take a bit more work to unravel the mystery.

    You might try searching around on this site: http://www.pre-pro.com/ It is an incredible resource of whiskey manufacturers - from the era prior to Prohibition.
