This is a great old 5 gallon bottle with blue crackled pattern bottom.  It also has markings O with I in horizontal diamond shape, (Owens Illinois, I believe)  5250  5 7 56.  It also has the original screw on lid with wax paper round.  

This is the original metal stand which swings every which way for ease in the fermentation/pouring process.   The bottle fits in the metal stand very securely and also lifts out with ease.  It swings to different positions and stays where you put it in.  Original paint, spring, hardware on metal stand. 

The stand is a very rare item!  Don't miss out on this one.
