E. Ottenville Black Glass Ale Nashville Tenn. - 3/21/2011 12:56:43 PM    bottlekid76   Posts: 1237 Joined: 7/4/2010 From: Missouri Status: offline Man I had a great time at the St. Louis bottle show yesterday. I didn't find much in the way of colored pontiled sodas, but I did pick up a couple very tough aqua pontils. A big turn out, and got to meet alot of longtime diggers and collectors. Some i've talked to thru the web, and was finally able to meet. Had alot of fun and got to see some great stuff! Seems like with the economy downturn some folks are selling a few nice bottles that have been in collections, and usually not obtainable. One of my bottle crazes is embossed black glass ales. Especially from St. Louis, but I collect examples from all over as well. No one had any for sale at the show until this one was pulled out later. I was so happy to be able to find this guy, and it's pure Black! Huge applied drippy top and just really sweet if you like or collect these type of bottles. I love the embossing that goes down at an angle. I talked to other collectors and diggers and no one had seen or heard of this exact Ottenville before in black glass. There is some with the same embossing that's known, that's a straight amber and a blob style top. As of yet tho, no one has been able to identify a double collar tapered top true black glass example. I have the cobalt hutch and blob so it was really cool to find their older big black brother. No damage and was dug out of a privy in Illinois. I was very happy to be able to aquire it.

So far talking to many other collectors, diggers, and research, no one that I have talked to has ever seen another one. I thought that by itself was pretty amazing. I'd love to know if anyone else has seen another example. I'm gonna email a few pics to Ralph and see if he has.

Great angular embossing, fo'sho! I did a little looking around and found this item: "Birth: unknown Death: Apr. 9, 1872 6 children of Eugene Ottenville" From. There was a terrible Cholera epidemic in Nashville at that time. This is perhaps the saddest bottle related research I've ever reported. (in reply to bottlekid76) Post #: 10
