    Unsolvable Japanese Cider Bottle

    I cover the style a little bit on my Historic Glass Bottle ID & Information Website at the following link: https://sha.org/bottle/miscellaneous.htm#Chinese They are indeed Japanese in origin...and often found in the NW here as well as British Columbia. Bill L.

    Hawley Glass Company?

    Hi there... Looks to be a machine-made champagne bottle with that base and embossing...ture? Hard to say for sure since there is no image of the complete bottle. The few H in a circle marks we've encountered (beers) were attributed to Hemingray Glass dating as shown on the Historic Bottle...

    McKearin ID help please

    The flask is McKearin & Wilson GII-126. Yes, a scarce coloration I believe though it came in at least 8 other colorations according to McK & W.

    Ebayer using someone elses pictures.

    No, I'm not selling bottles on eBay and haven't for years. I did find the listing for the Tippecanoe and of the 4 images, only one is pirated from my High Desert site - the one with the Tippecanoe in a wooden stand or rack. The other 3 images are not from me...and I did not give anyone...

    A group of blackglass octagonals

    Certainly a great group of early, English (possibly early American?) utilities! All look to have been produced using the same dip molds used to make the same periods octagonal snuff bottles.

    Owens Illinois Trade Mark

    Hi there... Take a look at this article posted on my Historic Bottle Website. It should help answer your questions. http://www.sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/OwensIll_Blockhart.pdf

    What is this?

    That was a shape most commonly used for pills, as one commenter noted. However, it could have been used for some of the more "watery" creams or ointments too. The relatively wide mouth (relative to the body diameter) indicates pills most likely with the others a possibility. Any producer...

    Buffalo Ammonia with sheared ring finish & pontil scar?!??!?

    Hi randgrithr.... Nice photos! Unfortunately, what you are mistaking for a pontil scar is the suction scar made by an Owens Automatic Bottle Machine. I note on the Historic Bottle Website in a couple places that sometimes the suction scar is mistaken for a pontil scar; one has to look at...

    English Black Glass or Dutch ?

    I should also add this from McKearin & Wilson regarding black glass (lifted from my HBW): Black glass is probably "...the most important of the green glasses..." which "...was of so deep a color as to appear black in reflected light and even in direct light when the walls of the bottles...

    English Black Glass or Dutch ?

    Great thread on black glass! I don't have much to add to it at this moment except to note that I agree to the definition by daltonbottles of what black glass is, i.e., glass that appears essentially black when viewed in reflected light (like on ones bottles shelves in a room, not in the window...

    Tonic bottle Question for Bill

    Thanks for the information Brad! I've never heard of the Texas Tonic....what a cool bottle! So it is embossed with REPUBLIC OF TEXAS on the reverse (non-pictured) side in a similar indented panel? Wow!! I will add it to my master list of tonics...it won't show up online until I do an...

    Tonic bottle Question for Bill

    As far as the dating of them...given the look of both, I would say they are early 1900s, mouth-blown (tooled finish) items. The Liver Hustler (great name!) could be 1890s, but I think both are from the 1900 to 1915 era. Bill

    Tonic bottle Question for Bill

    Here's the other bottle....I don't know that it is a Texas bottle, but that is likely. I have no history on either product...besides examples were sold on eBay. Bill

    Tonic bottle Question for Bill

    Hi Brad...cool named bottles, eh? They are for real but alas I don't own them. The Phillips' Liver Hustler was on eBay a few years ago (forgot to write down the date) and sold for $120. It is what I would call a "prescription druggist" shape....below is an image: The San Antonio Tonic...
