NOT TO BE SOLD.
Base embossed WF&S MIL horizontally with no. 7 below.
5. Horizontal on base – WF&S MIL with number (ca. 1913-1921) Our sample contained only a few of these, all with crown finishes – although Mobley claimed that one example had a “molded” crown finish (Figure 13). The older date in our range (ca. 1913-1921) is there solely because of the Mobley example. Because these were otherwise only on machine-made bottles and were so few in number, we would otherwise have selected ca. 1915 (or even later) as a beginning date.
