9 1/2" OWL POISON - 1/7/2009 9:30:28 PM    milkglassbottles Posts: 595 Joined: 12/30/2007 Status: offline Come on fellas and any lady girls out there! I have a 9 1/2" close to mint bottle that I  HAVE TO SELL. I will accept any reasonable offer for it as well as consider a rare embossed Milk Glass bottle for full or partial trade.  Thanks all and again, I wish you and yours a Happy New Year.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ Got milk? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wtfNE4z6a8 Post #: 1

Some collectors refer to a mint bottle as being a bottle with a full label if it had one, full, sealed contents and free of damage. While others mean just the glass itself. This collector being the latter. Does a minute scratch on the base take it out of the mint grade? A bit of inside content stain? Is a bottle light blue or cornflower? I've seen a lot of mint bottles I wouldn't list as mint. A term I won't say I've never used while parting with bits of my collection but I use it with great care. Your Owl looks mint by the way _____________________________ http://youtu.be/YkdOqdpSc0A makes a man cry it does lol. (in reply to kungfufighter) Post #: 3

RE: 9 1/2" OWL POISON - 1/26/2009 11:32:42 PM    milkglassbottles Posts: 595 Joined: 12/30/2007 Status: offline Lucky find. There are two (2) Owl Mustard jar variants, yes, it's a mustard! One of the harder ones to find had orange jeweled eyes. Feel free yo mail me a picture and I will let you know which one you have. Thanks for sharing!  Below is a link to an interesting article milk glass Owls, written by a great guy! http://www.fohbc.com/PDF_Files/OwlMilkGlass_JBilyeu.pdf < Message edited by milkglassbottles -- 1/26/2009 11:36:24 PM > _____________________________ Got milk? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wtfNE4z6a8 (in reply to midway49) Post #: 15

Do you have the Empress Josephine Toilet  Co. bottle out of Dayton , Ohio ? Looks like you may have one on the back shelf with the milk glass stopper .

RE: 9 1/2" OWL POISON - 1/27/2009 6:04:28 PM    milkglassbottles Posts: 595 Joined: 12/30/2007 Status: offline I am fortunate enough to have both variants. They were corked, there were no milk glass stoppers that I am aware of. Don't feel bad, it is hard to discern which bottles are are which, they all look alike! < Message edited by milkglassbottles -- 1/27/2009 6:11:06 PM > _____________________________ Got milk? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wtfNE4z6a8 (in reply to L C) Post #: 17

RE: 9 1/2" OWL POISON - 1/28/2009 10:18:22 AM    beendiggin Posts: 3001 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: online Congrats on assembling such a unique collection!  That display is so cool to see.  I've only dug one Hagans, and about a thousand varieties of cream jars.  I once bought a nice Victorian milk glass dish, two open hands with grape leaves, it was an old dated piece. The glass was delicate and prismatic around the edges. I loved that dish but eventually sold it. Once in a while I'll see some newer versions of it, but the glass is a really plain white, and not delicate.  again, cool display, thanks for posting those pics.

RE: 9 1/2" OWL POISON - 1/28/2009 12:01:39 PM    milkglassbottles Posts: 595 Joined: 12/30/2007 Status: offline Thank you for your appreciation and taking the time to share that with me. It's is the people like you that tend to remember me and my collection ( not necessarily in that order) when at a show or the like and call and ask me if I have this one or that one. I have been awaken from a dead sleep many a Saturday and Sunday morning by friends and collectors on the West Coast! That is a wake up call I don't seem to mind! I recently got a call from a good friend, Gimpy the Owl boy from Oregon,  asking me if I had an Octopus and Coin flask...needless to say, I do now! Thanks again for taking the time to write.
