Hi folks- strange topic, I know- my mother, bless her heart, knows how much I've been enjoying homebrewing. She was at a second hand store today and found an old carboy for $12.99 and grabbed it for me. She just brought it by and dropped it off.
It looks to be hand-blown- there are bubbles and slight imperfections (nothing structurally compromising) in it, and you can see the marks on the bottom where the glass was cut from the piece while still hot. All the carboys I've seen look to be factory made, and this one seems to be made by hand or at least with less automation than most.
There's a logo on the bottom that looks like crackled leaves or just an abstract pattern of lines, and in the center, a logo of an I inside an O.
Anyone seen one like this? I'm curious about it, because I've never seen one like it- I'm not even sure exactly how much it holds, although it looks to be a five-gallon.
