Two bottles I am unsure about?
Look closely at the first picture of the black glass example, left side about midways of his thumb. Most definitely blown in a three-piece mold also confirmed by the embossing on the base, which would have been erased in a turn mold. Small picture, but if you're able to zoom in, you'll see it...- sandchip

Has anybody seen this one
I agree that it's a pocket whiskey flask, much like the Biningers, Whartons and Klines. Although it has a cork stopper now, it appears to have a ground lip and originally took a screw cap, probably of aluminum.- sandchip

Two bottles I am unsure about?
Only the first one is a turn mold. The second, black glass example is a three mold and more than likely contained ale. Not sure what the first one contained. It looks just like the larger olive green examples that were used to bottle Apolinaris mineral water but I don't know of any labeled...- sandchip

Need help identifying this antique red amber bottle.
The height and diameter is my reasoning for thinking it's a brandy.- sandchip

Help to ID a Kentucky Bourbon Bottle with a partial label.
Just being totally realistic here, but I'd would estimate the value between $100.00 and $200.00. Thanks to Old Wilt, we now know it is a Bininger product, which is the only real thing that's going for it among whiskey collectors. The downside is that so much of the label is missing, including...- sandchip

Looking for any info on Dr A S Hopkins Union Stomach Bitters Hartford Conn.
The neck isn't tooled. The last picture clearly shows the mold line, or "seam" extending to the underside of the applied collar. Not terribly rare, but not nearly as common as Hostetters. Beautiful color and a great example. Thanks for sharing that one with us.- sandchip

For real? As knowledgeable as you are on bottles, that's shocking. There are several. R.B. Cutter, Bininger's Knickerbocker and Day Dream, Griffith & Hyatt, Chestnut Grove, Vidvard & Sheehan, W.B. Crowell Star, and the list goes on and on.- sandchip
