Sunset puce trio.
Red, I do not collect embossed bottles. I like unembossed, open pontiled, and preferably American forms. These three are open pontiled and date around 1830 to 1850 give or take.- utility man

Thanks guys! The smallest one is really tough to find. It is a shame it has part of the lip missing. A well known Baltimore digger told me he has neve seen that mold without damage.- utility man

Willington pickle found in local auction.
Red the authors are Helen McKearin and Kenneth Wilson. It has the G classification for all the historical flasks as well. Another book that is good for pickle jars or any food type bottle would be Betty Zumwalt's book.- utility man

Willington pickle found in local auction.
These pickles are attributed to the Willington Glassworks 1815 to 1872. Now this can be up for debate amongst collectors and I am no expert on these jars. They come in three sizes the smallest being around 7 to 9 inches in height, midsize 11 to 12 inches and the largest is 15 to 16 inches tall...- utility man

Here is a pic of the base. I went to the auction for a mineral water that I wanted but it was damaged. This more than made up for it. [attachment=image.jpg]- utility man

Willington pickle found in local auction.
Found this cathedral pickle in a local auction recently. Measures 11 1/2 inches tall and has a sand chip pontil scar. Nice green color and is in great condition except for one tiny flake of the lip. The jar wasn't even advertised and I was shocked to see it on a tray lot with some other random...- utility man

This snuff was purchased of eBay about ten years ago and was listed as amber. My friend was the highest bidder and when she opened the box she got a pleasant surprise.- utility man

Thanks for the kind words! The snuff is a real deep strawberry puce and is hard to capture without good sunlight.- utility man
