Here's why; a number of years ago, while digging an 1860's layer, I recovered intact, an aqua (eastern mold)rect Fish's and an XLCR Brader side by side. The very tight date of 1863-64 for the Brader sure fits well with what Warren came up with on the Fish's. <br />I would leave open for discussion that the Western blown rect Fish's could be a little later.<br />APAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-35283808422342529222011-05-12T12:32:46.950-07:002011-05-12T12:32:46.950-07:00Warren, Thank you for the countless hours of resea...Warren, Thank you for the countless hours of research you have endured to provide the rest of us this historically important information.<br /> I still have a hard time getting my head around the rectangular Fish's being so early, and especially earlier than the blue cylinder. I do know that advertising for the Fish's alludes to the "new" round bottle with N. Mills embossed, but is it possible the rectangular version was unembossed in 1863? The aqua examples I have seen just do not seem that early to me, and I had one in a deep aqua with a single roll applied collar which "looked" like 1870s.<br /> Another question; With the Rowler's being 1861 ( I know they come open pontiled too), do you believe they are western made by San Francisco Glassworks? They sure come out of the ground clean. If so, they would be in the Bowen's and Adolphus timeframe, correct?
