Glass and Bottle fragment identification assistance requests

archtech21

We have a bunch of glass and bottle fragments that were pulled from caves that we want to identify. The first is this O-I Liquor Bottle base. It has the I within the O on the first line / then it reads LIQUOR BOTTLE / 1 3 77 is on the last line. On the side view it appears to have the bottoms of 3/4.

I would like to know the date this was made and any other information you would like to share.

Thank you very much,

historic

Hi

That O-I mark (Owens Illinois Glass Co) has been used by that company since 1954, according to Julian Toulouse's book, Bottle Makers and Their Marks.

Any chance Toulouse's book says when they quit using that mark? I ask because if it was made after 1962 then I can't consider it historic and would then put it in the recycle pile.
