thankyou very my kindest friend vetraio50:)
Is that a cute little face I see peaking out at me?....:-)
Thankyou inky and mustangytony for the loves :) yes inky that is a cute little face peaking out at you darling :)
cool bell
Im sorry Sean, but Im no help here. I thought maybe I saw something similar myself but couldnt find it anymore either. I was thinking that perhaps this was an old flask of some sort, or even a reproduction type piece. Either way I hope you have some luck finding out who made it. Have you tried North Pole yet? Just kidding of course. :)
thankyou RhondaCorvallis

petey for the loves:) and thankyou Jerrod for trying :) believe me North Pole sounds like a nice trip:)
Maybe he had a little hat ? :)
Hey babes, still can't find this one. Think it could be a old liquor bottle. Not leaning American. Hmmm....
On the topic of the Wheaton bottles, It should be clearly marked on the bottom if it is Wheaton. Also if you were to ask Epson233, I know she worked for them at some time in her life and she could probably give you some direction if it was made by them...hope this helps.
There's nothing marked at all , which makes think , I'm wondering if tall cakes would know ? Tall cakes is great at figuring or these mysterys:) so this is not a liquor bottle all liquor bottles are marked.
No, not necessarily. they did not have marks on he bottom of the old antique flask style bottles.. If you look at the seam in the glass from the mold it was blown into, does it run the entire length of the top of the bottle or does it stop somewhere below the lip? Once I know that infor I can get into more.
Hello Jerrod I will take a look at it when I get home :) I'm at work
Thank you Pawis for the love and thank you Lundy:)

Hi Bellin, what do you clean the mineral build up with? Unusual decanter!!
hello Justanovice , i used "CLR" , i dont know if they sell it by u or not , but it works like a dream:) and thankyou for the love:)
this is reg glass , i dont use it on crystal. once i had to but it didnt do any damage.
well this will be my first and last , due to this one cant be "ID":(
these kinds like this are fun and cool , but all at the same time are very very tricky at the same time :)
Thank you Bellin will look it up! Hopefully I can find it this side of the pond!!
thankyou very much Justanovice , your very kind :)
Thankyou Lundy:)
thankyou mikkochristmas :)
Excuse my thought here.

But will give you an idea.

Thank you Russ for your help ,so this could very well be 19 th century?
Jerrod has said in passing that this could be 19th century:)
I don't know much about bottles, but you can rule out Blenko in your search. The uniform might be able to help you, he looks like a European soldier
That is what another thought that has crossed our minds, thankyou stillwater
I 'm going with a whimsical, figural bottle/decanter of Naploeon.
Not sure of much more yet.
This is kinda the idea.

Cool mystery.
Thankyou Russ for the love and kind words and your stunning help:)
Not much help, just some thoughts :)
Your thoughts are just fine and your help:)
Bellin, my initial thought was a figural bitters bottle...
