Made in 1932, not seeing them made any more recently than that as it is an alcohol company and they were for a soda mix they sold then.

Right this is currently being made. However, I'm not willing to pay 350 bucks for something I can make for 50.
If I could find similar bottles I would certainly consider that... I was thinking Glass insulators from old telephone/telegraph lines.

Weight isn't really an issue... I live on antique row so I think I'm gonna go out and see if I can find anything cool.

There's a house a few miles away from me that has thousands of those on his front lawn.
stroll down to Galloway Township and visit the "Insulator House," another example of fine New Jersey lawn ornamentation. This little beauty features glass telegraph-wire insulators that the homeowner has collected over the years while walking over abandoned railroad tracks throughout the state. Weird but true. Hey, I couldn't make this stuff up.
