WHITEHOUSE VINEGAR - 2/10/2006 4:53:09 PM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline I found a whitehouse vinegar bottle at an antique shop. I haven't bought it yet and I'm wondering if it would be worth it. Its a regular straight sided jug, almost milk jug shaped, with 4 leafs embossed around the neck. It has a spout and a finger hold handle. It says "whitehouse vinegar" on the bottom as well as some other stuff but I can't read it through the price label on the bottom of the bottle. Its NOT the apple shaped type and it looks like its a gallon. Jason Post #: 1

APPLIED FOR, 1" on the bottom. Is this a whitehouse vinegar or a different type of cider or vinegar bottle? Jason (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 2

I have witnessed bidding wars on Ebay drive the $30 to $50 apples well over $100. There are several good Whitehouse collectables books out. Hey Jason, If it's cheep grab it. It's an apple cider vinegar jug. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 4

A few years ago they started getting real collectible for some reason. Some new member brought one into the bottle club and everyone went ho hum until they noticed that it was embossed VENIGAR and turned out to be pretty rare. Now i always check them closely when I see them. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 5

It will be hitting ebay on soon. Ill post a pic. Will trade with anyone at the show or trade in antique-bottle before I go to ebay. It's a small jar not jug, prob means it not worth much. Great for teacher bottle collecters. LOL Madpaddla < Message edited by madpaddla -- 2/10/2006 10:36:21 PM > (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 6

RE: WHITEHOUSE VINEGAR - 2/11/2006 12:50:19 AM    capsoda Posts: 7863 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Hey Ben, If it's an apple the smaller it is the more it's worth and the ones with a pour spout are worth more than the ones with out. Some Whitehouse vinegar jugs come in a pale depression glass green. Yeah Matt, I know what you mean. My wife always made me keep the marked jugs and apples. I always through them back. Learned my lesson when a friend showed me an odd looking jar and said it was worth $70. I had thrown buck 40 or more on a dig and now there all paved over for future diggers. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 7

RE: WHITEHOUSE VINEGAR - 2/11/2006 5:29:51 PM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Just bought the jug. Its 9 and a half inches tall. It has 4 seperate embossed leaves that are almost 2 inches long, stems facing down. Its ribbed, 24 ribs with a single handle and spout. On the base its embossed "WHITE HOUSE VINEGAR, for a generation the standard, 679-7 patent app. for" Are there any WHITE HOUSE expert/collectors out there? I will post a pic if anyone is interested in adding this to their collection. Jason (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 8

RE: WHITEHOUSE VINEGAR - 2/12/2006 4:27:23 PM    capsoda Posts: 7863 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Hey Jason, The gallon apple jugs book at $50 but I haven't seen one bring more than $25 in a while. Plus it depends on if it is a cork with or with out a spout or screw top. Pour spouts always bring more money. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 11
