<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris Roy, post: 4763982, member: 78899&quot;]***Hello Everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>Quick Story: My dad collected Antiques for over 50 years. As a kid, my dad had an Antiques Store. My dad is getting older and recently sold his house. The house was filled with his most precious finds: Chinese Potteries, Porcelains, Paintings, Etchings, Prints, Tobys, etc, and many many Antique and Rare Books (several are signed) some books are as old as 1600&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My dad gave me everything. I was the only kid so he wanted me to have all of his most precious treasures. I feel blessed. I will be posting a few things on here in the next few weeks in hope of getting a few more information on certain pieces. I still have 12 boxes of Antique books that are unopened so it will take me some time but will try to post the best finds on here.&nbsp; ***</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>What I know about this piece:</p><p>- Circa 1700&#039;s</p><p>- 20&quot; x 12&quot;</p><p>- Blown Glass with lots of bubbles (had to look inside with a light)</p><p>- Many imperfections in the Bottleneck but no cracks or damage (it looks cracked but it&#039;s not, just imperfections)</p><p>- Was used on ships to transport Water, Oil, Wine and Medications</p><p>- I believe the Wicker Cover may be original but not certain</p><p>- I wanted to remove it but since it&#039;s in great condition, I opted to keep it on instead. I was reading that most of the Original Wicker on old Demijohns are falling apart and cracking so not that many left with the original cover.</p><p>- I would love to hear more if anyone knows something more [ATTACH=full]413232[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413234[/ATTACH] about it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
