Hi yall. Wish I found this thread earlier! Just posting to say I too have one of these 1916 error bottles, so I guess that makes this bottle a little less rarer. It is ice blue, crudely made, but still 100% ABM nonetheless, and has a number 4 on the bottom. I'm looking over the exact lettering...
Here are some of my latest stuff. I haven't posted in a while, but I'm still collecting.
Here's a KT&K porcelain whiskey jug with purple Klein Bros. and Hyman Spring Lake graphics. Still has some of the gold leaf left on the lip and handle. I love the snake handle on all of the KT&K jugs...
Nice, amber, BIMAL whiskey bottle. Almost reminds me of a utility bottle or a demijohn. It has a nipple on the neck where I think a handle would have been applied. I love the form and whittle.
BIM Hobbleskirt Coke bottle from Greenville, NC. There aren't any date marks on it, but I believe it was made by the Laurens Glass Works around 1917-1919, just like my other BIM Hobbleskirt from Tampa.
G. Simmond stoneware bottle. It's a smaller one. I wouldn't call it mini, but it is smaller than your average stoneware bottle. I can't find any info on this one. Any help would be appreciated. Does the name sound familiar to anyone?
Size comparison with the Warner's.
Partially labeled Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. BIMAL with the bottle itself in mint condition. Even has the cork with some remnants of the tax stamp or a label seal.
Awesome, dark amber, almost black, double collared Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure bottle. It's hard to take a good picture of it because hardly any light passes through it! Super clean and minty. Picked it up for $6.
Nice Thos. L. Smith & Sons flask. Didn't find much on the company, but I do know Maker's Mark is located in Loretto. Also, it has a BIM external threaded top. I'd like some help on dating this bottle. I do know the company went out of business in 1919.
Some of my recent Antique Mall deals. I love going to antique malls to find bottles because a lot of the dealers have no idea what they have. Most of the time, dealers don't think bottles have value or don't know they have value, so they end up selling the bottles they acquire really cheap, no...
