I have no idea who or what this 3 sided bottle is,I have had it for about 14 years and this is how i found it. I found the card holder with it's contents in it at a yard sale last year but I don't know if they go together.If any body has any information on these items please let me know.
I just found a similar bottle...
4 sided 9in tall x 3in sq (230x80mm) rounded shoulders with large opening (decanter) and a leather covered cork stopper 2-1/2in diam which increases the hight of the bottle by another 1in. A small chain attached to the stopper and wrapped around the bottle neck.
The pattern/figure embossing looks to be the same as yours.
Unfortunately I have no information about it.
Dave, thamk you for the comment, your the first to say anything about this one.I have friends who seem to think the face is of spanish decent so I am searching on the internet through history but so far nothing.My bottle was found in a basment I cleaned out but had no stopper or chain. Godd luck and if I find anything I'll let you know.
I'll post one similar I just got. Also Spanish mine says made in Spain By JEYPE on the bottom.
Hi, I have a similar bottle. It has The same man's head on 2 sides and 2 full bodies on the other 2 sides. Very interesting markings. The cork and leater stopper has a chain attached with says "CONAC" on one side and "ESPANA" on the other. The name "Don Qujote" is on one side of the bottle and "SANCHO" on the other side. Hope this helps solve the mystery. I am curious of the age and who made the bottles.
Cindy ; I have the same type of leather bound bottle.My son was in the Navy from 1974 to 1978 and he visited Spain and sent the bottle to us sometime during that time frame.I have seen them listed on eBay but don't remember the selling price.Hope this helps you out.
Thank you all for your comments, i believe it is "Espana" but the bottom is also covered so unless i can get it ex-rayed, i couldn't tellyou whats on the bottom. The weird thing is that 15 years later i found a leather bound square box with the same design that has the original die and deck of cards in it, it's in perfect condition. 'Gotta love it"...
