Saratogas & Poisons - 1/10/2007 6:05:13 PM    jane8851 Posts: 324 Joined: 12/3/2006 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Thought I'd give this a try. Here are my mineral waters and above them are some poisons. The Stoddard red amber Congress & Empire E quart is my favorite but I like the mountain glass C quarts too. Still looking for a light honey amber Stoddard E quart if anyoe has an extra.  :- ) Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Can't beat early glass. My little olive amber utility is pontilled and has a  label which reads Pyrethum for Bed Bugs. (in reply to annie44) Post #: 9

RE: Saratoga's & Poisons - 1/10/2007 11:19:26 PM    earlyglass   Posts: 353 Joined: 12/21/2004 Status: offline Nice mineral waters guys... and gals!  Although they all have the same form, I love the character of the Stoddard glass mineral waters. Here is an example of a pint size in a light honey amber....  Jane, the honey amber "E" is available and not uncommon, you should be able to find one.  Good luck!

RE: Saratoga's & Poisons - 1/10/2007 11:45:34 PM    jane8851 Posts: 324 Joined: 12/3/2006 From: Upstate NY Status: offline That's one beautiful bottle, earlyglass! It's exactly the color quart I'm looking for. Years ago I used to belong to the Saratoga Collectors Society which had lots of members set up at the bottle show in Saratoga Springs. You could walk into the show and find top shelf examples regularly but not so much anymore. I saw one Stoddard E quart this year and there was a stampede to the table to buy it. Gone in the first 2 minutes of the show. I never even got near the table in the rush. (in reply to earlyglass) Post #: 16

RE: Saratoga's & Poisons - 1/10/2007 11:50:38 PM    earlyglass   Posts: 353 Joined: 12/21/2004 Status: offline Thanks Jane. Yes, the good stuff is becoming increasingly difficult to find. What was once "common" is now an edangered species! Even the pieces that we take for granted today will become difficult to obtain for future collectors. I have had a few of the quarts. If I get another any time soon, I will certainly contact you. Mike (in reply to jane8851) Post #: 17
