Purple Blob Top Murphy Bros Bottle... Any Ideas..?

Hi. Thanks for the nice, and informative replies. I always wondered it's history. I bet it could tell some stories. I've had it for a while and always really liked the crudeness of it, and the color. I didn't really know what to do with it lately. Would this have any kind of decent value for...

Has anyone seen this bell bottle? Not wheaton.

Hi. I just got this large bell bottle, and cannot find any information on it. I have seen a bunch of bell bottles, some made by Wheaton, but all appear to be much smaller, and more compressed than this one. It stands 11" T x 7" W. It reads: "KLM AMERICAN CLASSIC - ORIGINAL ISSUE - SERIES NO.1 -...

need help identifying captayne john smith purple flask

I still can't believe no one has this bottle, or knows anything about it. I would agree with you on it, not meaning much to someone who ONLY collects antique bottles, but anyone who collects rare bottles regardless of age, would really go crazy. Unless someone can prove me wrong. Of course, I'm...

need help identifying captayne john smith purple flask

I searched the forums here, under every possible wording I could and couldn't find anything on it. So would I be a fool in assuming that it's rare? Also, because it's not from the early 20th century, could it still make it valuable, and desirable? Do you know of anyone on here that has one, or...

need help identifying captayne john smith purple flask

That's what I thought. I'm just wondering how many people have them? Is there thousands of this bottle floating around? Is it one of those bottles people pass up everyday at a flea market, unless it's under a dollar? Is it rare? How many people on here own it, or desire it? Things like that.

I'd be hard pressed to say Clevenger, as their copies are hardly as accurate as this. The picture of 'Ole Captayne John is perfect. There is also no markings on the bottom, suggesting repro. Anybody know? Anyone? Have I stumped everyone?

need help identifying captayne john smith purple flask

Can anyone help me identify this. I got it with some other bottles. It says: CAPTAYNE JOHN SMITH - SOMETYMES GOVERNOR OF VRIGINIA. On the back side it shows a ship and says: THE GOOD SHIP SUSAN CONSTANT - AMERICA'S 350TH BORTHDAY. I have come to the conclusion that it's from 1957. Can anyone...
