Recent fleaBay score - 9/2/2010 2:54:30 PM    CALDIGR2 Posts: 2159 Joined: 6/20/2005 Status: offline I don't like to purchase bottles from eBay, but on occasion a nice one that fits my collection shows up and, well, you know, 'ya gotta get after it. I don't really need another of these, but the bottle is exceptionally nice and crude. It is A.P.Hotaling's first embossed bottle and dates from the late 1860s to early '70s. The bottle is whittled to death, has uneven sides and a huge applied top. Bubbles abound and the thing is totally problem free. Embossed J.H.Cutter/Old Bourbon/AP.Hotaling & Co/ Sole Agents. Hotaling was the Pacific Coast Agent for C.P.Moorman's J.H.Cutter whiskey and was headquartered in San Francisco. _____________________________ Dig no privy before it's time. Post #: 1

I'm sure it will be in good company. Was this a recently unearthed example? I haven't picked up much from the 'bay bottle-wise recently. Best I managed was to consolidate 4 Florida Waters offered separately -- into one "buy it now" deal. Ended up with two Crane & Brighams and two WEMs. Like some other San Francisco druggists William E. Mayhew had his own private mold Florida Water bottles made. The Crane&Brighams and the WEMs come in both small and regular size examples. Overall there are approximately 30 different Western Florida waters including size and embossing variants.  _____________________________ Jason San Francisco Bay Area bottles and go-withs.

RE: Recent fleaBay score - 9/3/2010 11:25:20 AM    CALDIGR2 Posts: 2159 Joined: 6/20/2005 Status: offline Thanks for the kind compliments everyone. As a Hotaling collector I have to try to assemble a run of different colored bottles with the same embossing. This one adds to the assemblage and is totally different. Now, I need very light yellow, a really tough one to come by. SF Florida Waters are an interesting category, Jason. I have dug many over the years, but can't recall any that were particularly rare. _____________________________ Dig no privy before it's time. (in reply to mr.fred) Post #: 7

Someone on Maui was selling a nice one earlier this year. It was red amber. Like our local whiskey's the yellow amber ones are super rare. Nice addition Mike!
