Wilkinson bottles wanted
I've asked here before but it's been a few years. I collect any bottle embossed WILKINSON. There are a lot out there believe it or not. Most are English but I have some meds and dairy bottles that are from the U.S. There is also a medicine shaped bottle that is embossed Wilkinson Mineral...- Wilkie

bottle value
There are 4 variants of the Hennessy bottle on www.hutchbook.com. Yours could be a blob top but I'm guessing its a Hutchinson. It doesn't list values though.- Wilkie

G. H. Wilkinson blob top
Here is my most recent addition. It is a beer bottle from Kearney, New Jersey. I can't find any information on it and I was told that its scarce. Has anyone seen one before? Any information on it or the brewery? It is an orange amber and the embossing reads: W. T. WILKINSON / KEARNEY /...- Wilkie

The largest bottle club in the USA isnt represented at shows!
Matt, I just purchased your book, just a second a go. The last thing I had from you was your 2008 price guide on cd. You did a good job on that, I just wish it had photos. Your book looks good from the few page I saw. What does the cover look like? Color? What kind of binding? Doesn't...- Wilkie

Smith & Kline Jamaica Ginger
Hi Jason, I still post occasionally, I'm just not active on here anymore. I used to use the forum at work all the time but I think my IP address was blocked by admin when I got into it with one of the "untouchables" on here. Right now I'm on my IPhone and it's kind of a pain to type on this...- Wilkie

Smith & Kline Jamaica Ginger
Thank you guys for the replies. I'm thinking I found a good one. Atleast "scarce". Conch, I have not seen the one you mentioned before either, "Jaques".............. I would like to see a photo of it if you wouldn't mind posting one. Isn't "Jaques" french for Jake? A Jake "Jake".....[:D]- Wilkie

Smith & Kline Jamaica Ginger
I purchased a new "eastern" jake for my collection today. It's the typical size and shape but this is one I have never heard of before. I know from "google books" that it was a company in business in the early 1880's. What I want to know is if anyone else has seen this particular one and what...- Wilkie

Your crudest bottles
Here is "my" crudest bottle. A beautifully ugly whiskey flask. I posted this here on the forum several years ago when I first got it. This was found in an antique store in Northern California.- Wilkie

Hostetters or Schnerr's wild cherry?
THANK YOU! I'm glad that you agree, I was really astonished at the outcome of this auction, before there were any bidders I contacted the seller and told him I didn't think his bottle was worth much (I did wish him luck though). He rubbed it in after it sold for so much!- Wilkie

WHITING'S Drug Store. OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA
I have the book "California Embossed Drug Store / Pharmacy Bottles and Dose Glasses" by Edrick J. Miller. Miller uses a rating system to determine rarity. 1 being "common" and 5 being extremely rare. Yours is listed as common. I see bottles like these go at local bottle shows for 5 to 10...- Wilkie

Beware of unusual colors
I think it's a good idea for crafts, however, I can see "crafty" people trying to turn some common bottles into rarity's and selling them on eBay.- Wilkie
