    E.G. Booz aqua cabin?

    RE: dug E.G. Booz photos Christian. Could we chat about my possibly using the photos of your dug olive Whitney Booz Bottle in my Antique Bottle and Glass Collector column and possibly an update of my Tippecanoe and E. G. Booz Too! book? You can reach me at tchaunton@comcast.net. Thank...

    I know about EG Booz Bottles, really!!

    Hello again. As to why such a spread of prices on Clevenger bottles, it's because there are so many varieties of them, at least twenty-nine different just by design. (Not counting colors or whimsies) Tom Haunton

    I know about EG Booz Bottles, really!!

    Good morning. The "closed 8" you refer to on the base of your Booz bottle is actually the initials CB seen from the side. I can say this as the former owner of this Clevenger Booz mold. How clear the initials are simply depends on how a specific bottle is blown. You can check it out in my...

    Your Best Heartbreaker

    Hi Blade. We chatted about these photos of your Booz bottle shards some time ago. May I have permission to use the photos in a column I write for AB & GC. I'd like to do a Booz update and your shards are way cool! If you could fill me in on the exacts again, I'll make sure you get all the...

    E.G. Booz aqua cabin?

    Good evening. Your Booz bottle is one made for the Dell Company located in Bridgeton, then Millville, between 1942 and 1948. Dell bought the mold from Clevenger Brothers in Clayton when the Clevengers changed to a beveled roof Booz mold. The mold to this bottle is in storage at the Museum of...

    The GI-26 Washington Eagle Reproduction.

    This bottle is not a Clevenger reproduction. I suspect it is a bottle made at L. E. Smith in western Pennsylvania, or another midwestern glasshouse in the Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana area. Look for my book on Clevenger Brothers in the very near future. 438 pages and over 800...

    CLEVENGER BROS. & other reproductions

    RE: CLEVENGER BROS. Good morning. I recently finished my book about Clevenger Brothers. Sent it off to a possible publisher yesterday. When it is available, I will get out the word here and elsewhere. If everything in my version of the book is used, it should be 438 pages with 800+...

    Booz bottle

    Good evening all, and especially to MPB. MPB's blue Booz bottle is one made for the Dell Company in a mold formerly owned by Clevenger Brothers between 1930 and 1942. Dell owner Sam Gerson acquired the Clevenger's straight roof Booz mold along with Clevenger's first large Washington bottle...

    How to distinguish E. G. BOOZ originals from Clevenger Bros. reproductions.

    Good afternoon OdditySteve. The original Boozes came in a variety of shades of amber, from a light golden to very dark amber. I have also seen broken shards of an olive green-amber original. Although the McKearin American Glass books list other colors such as deep and pale green, I know of no...

    EG BOOZ Repo

    Good morning. Yes, the Clevenger book will be a comprehensive one. Considering they were in business for 70 years and seemed to reinvent themselves every 15-20 years, it's a book that needed to be written. Between free-blown, mold-blown, and commemorative ware, they made hundreds of different...

    EG BOOZ Repo

    Good evening. The Dell information can be found in the book Tippecanoe and E. G. Booz! by Thomas C. Haunton. (Psst. That's me.) I've gathered info on Dell over the 24 years I've been working on my book about Clevenger Brothers, since they shared quite a few molds and employees. Dell will...

    cross-hatch internal pattern decanter?

    Good morning. Your "cross-hatched" bottle is one made at Clevenger Brothers using checken wire to achieve the design. (They rolled the gather of glass over the chicken wire before putting it in the mold.) Your bottle dates circa late 1940s -early 1950s. Earlier versions of this bottle were made...

    How to distinguish E. G. BOOZ originals from Clevenger Bros. reproductions.

    Dear Steve/Sewell I hate to break up the party on the Booz Bottle identification on this site, but some of this information is under copyright by me, the first person to do a detailed identification of these bottles. The photo of the base in particular was taken directly from my 2006 CD-ROM...

    Anyone else go to the Clevenger auction?

    Good evening all. I was also at the auction of the Clevenger molds, etc. Bought quite a few things myself - the Stoddard blown-three-mold and stopper, Star & Dewdrop Salt pressed mold, Large Creamer mold, several snap case tools - including two for the Booz bottle, puntey rod, lots of Clevenger...
