    Hi everyone, I'm from Houston and I collect antique pharmacy bottles.

    Welcome to the page Haley! Do you collect pharmacy bottles from a specific place (like Houston) or for anywhere? I collect Houston bottles.

    1890s Rye Bottle found in brothel wall! How or should I clean?

    This bottle is meant to look like a mailbox. The BOOZ bottles are from 1860-1870.

    WTS Amber Pepsi-Cola eBay Auction - Boston, Mass bottle

    Ugh. That always sucks...and of course there aren't really any repercussions for the buyer since you are unable to leave feedback that tells the real story! And the stuff never does quite as well the "second time around" because people assume (even if you explain the situation) people assume...

    1890s Rye Bottle found in brothel wall! How or should I clean?

    If you are selling it I'd sell it just like it is. The buyer can decide if they want to clean it. I don't think it will impact what you get for it.

    Cobalt Blue Drakes.

    Marked on the base M. Craig (for Michael Craig, who was instrumental in getting these made). They won't fool anyone.

    Cobalt Blue Drakes.

    They are repros and Hemi knows that. Just made for the Houston National Show put on by the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors. Drakes do not come in cobalt otherwise, which is why this color was selected for these. They are very cool to add to a collection...I bought one at the show...

    Hi anyone know about Gopher manufactured only by J.L. Koll Minneapolis, MN? I,ve never seen one like it!

    That's a cool bottle-too bad someone zapped it. Nonetheless, Jacob L. Koll sold caskets and funeral/embalming supplies. Likely Gopher was his brand of embalming fluid.

    Can’t find this one anywhere on google. Please help.

    Here is some information on the company. Bottle dates to around 1915. Cool find! https://pre-prowhiskeymen.blogspot.com/2014/05/ferd-westheimer-spun-red-top-and-won.html

    National Bottle Show Houston Texas August 1st - 4th 2024

    Then to the main show. Once again, incredible. I really didn't get a chance to walk around until the third day, but I still bought a lot of stuff. A nice pontiled ink with a bird swing of glass inside it, a nice Florida/Texas cure bottle, an old British black glass bottle with a New Hampshire...

    National Bottle Show Houston Texas August 1st - 4th 2024

    The show was incredible! Starting with Glass in the Grass on Wednesday...not a ton of dealers but a lot of action and really some neat stuff. I sold very well (sold around 500 of my "dollar bottles") and I picked up a Montrose, Colorado jug, a pontiled Nerve & Bone Liniment bottle with...

    Different Variations

    Great bottles! I believe both bottles were made in the exact same mold, but obviously at different times and possibly by different glassworks. I have found many of these "square shouldered ponies" with hutch stoppers in them; it's clear that they worked in these bottles and companies extended...

    Alloa glass works bottle

    Just curious-why do you think this is Alloa rather than the second American Glass Works (Virginia & West Virginia)?

    Soda bottle with makers mark “abilena”

    What I was more getting at is what the fascination is? Are you going to display them in room with just a blacklight illuminating them?

    Soda bottle with makers mark “abilena”

    I'm going to be honest...I don't really get the fascination with the "manganese" bottles. In the later 1800's and early 1900's basically every clear glass bottle had manganese in it and will "glow" a pale yellow in a blacklight.

    National Bottle Show Houston Texas August 1st - 4th 2024

    Nope...bought the Teal in the auction, then won the light blue in the raffle yesterday. I'm sure they bought a blue one too. I believe the blue ones sold out.

    National Bottle Show Houston Texas August 1st - 4th 2024

    Incredibly, the lighter sapphire blue Darke's (raffle) was won by the same person who won the teal Drake's in the auction. I'd say they deserved it after spending that much on the teal one. Yep...I'll definitely be trying to dig one of the Houston poison bottles haha.
