Picked up 2 nice 3 city whiskeys tennessee, alabama, flordia, Georgia

Great bottles. I also have the Sprinkle whiskey jug. Found it out in Yuma Arizona a few years back. Strange how the stuff moves around.

New ink bottle

Thanks for the feedback. We have found several references to inks with a somewhat similiar form (especially the top area with the rounded flared lip) but since these were free blown (no mold) there is a great variance in the bottom areas of the bottles and it seems that it was up to the glass...

New ink bottle

Found a nice free blown ink last weekend at a local shop. It's a nice yellow color with a hint of green to it and is pontiled. Can anyone give me an idea of age or value or where it might have been made? It has some wear on the bottom so it has been used for a long time. Michael...

Soda Advertising

Picked up a nice advertising piece for the Pioneer Soda Works out of the old mining town of Bisbee, Arizona. The advertisement is reverse painted glass with a second pane with a sihoulette of a cowboy on a horse leading a pack horse. It was originally an ice box or cooler door with an oak frame...

Your username?

One of my nicknames in college. I was a wildlife major and was doing a stream population survey one day when one of my good friends decided that when I was partying I tended to resemble and act like one of those critters that came from under a rock and combined helgramite with my name. Hence...

Ink/Pill Bottle

Hello, The bottle was made in a 3 piece mold and the swirl lines are from minerals in the soil it was buried in. You see that effect quite commonly out here in Arizona with our akali soils. The bottle is more than likely a vasaline jar. I once dug several hundred just like it in a privy at an...

any info on a Teddy's Pet bottle?

I have had several of these and believe I still have one packed away with the paper label from a saloon in Nebraska. Word is that they were given away by one of Teddy Roosevelt's opponents during one of his presidential campaigns. The alimony, matrimony, etc. references were directed at Teddy's...
