Do you think this is a magnum of champagne?
« on: March 29, 2011, 03:01:38 pm »
We recently dug up this bottle. I can't get on the bottle webite. They still haven't activated my account. The bottle is 15 inches high and 14 1/4 round. I'm trying to figure out the product and age.

I don't think it is a champagne bottle ... they generally have deep 'punts' .. a concave bottom that strengthens it under pressure (I think that's why)

Could be mistaken and not seeing the photo clearly

Have you filled it with water then emptied into a measuring jug to see how much it holds?

I'll have to try that. I'll let you know later. My little dog had ACL surgery and she needs TLC.

It holds about 9 cups of water. There a giant root in there. I don't know if it belongs or not. It hasn't come out with all my pouring. I need tweezers. Yuck, lol

Probably a wine or a mineral water bottle !! Mineral water was popular early 1900`s !!  I would bet on the mineral water !!
