Re: Etching on bottles

  You would need to give a litle more info.  Being "pontilled" and three
piece makes it collectible at least.  By etched I suppose you mean etched in
the glass by acidic nature. By green do you mean a grass green or a blue
green?   Also just because it MAY have a pontil mark does not mean it's
freeblown.  A very good place to get some info. is the site
www.antiquebottles.com
Here you will find bases,mouths,classification etc. Learn a little there and
then ask again;  unless someone actually has one of those and pipes in.
Three piece mould by his description dates it to 1840-1870 so it IS old.
