Added 3 KY bottles to my collection yesterday. These are in "as dug" condition and were dug in Louisville back in the 70'S or so. The Bakers and G are iron pontil.
Yeah, hutchbook lists 9 embossing variations. I have 3 variations, but I got them at one time from a collection I bought. I'm not sure on their rarity for sure, but I don't think I've seen one pop up on ebay in the past few years I've been tracking KY hutches. So, I'd guess they aren't super...
A few very knowledgeable KY collectors said it is a gravitating stopper, but it's listed on hutchbook as a hutch because it doesn't have the Matthew's patent info base embossing. I'm not totally sure but know it's a tough one.
Sweet! I've lived in Lawrence a few times back in the late 90's...love that town. I'm from Olathe originally.
Id love a Lawrence druggist, are they tough to find in general?
Thanks all. Jblaylock, yep not far from you. I collect KY hutches, druggists, and other soda/mineral bottles. Let me know what you collect and I'll keep my eyes open.
Tim, 1 was not, and info sent to Ron already. A few of them had some minor variations from hutchbook, but I'm guessing those are because of hard to read embossing on the bottles used for the hutchbook listing.
I finally bought the collection from him 2 weeks ago. Ended up with 32 hutches, with only 5 duplicates. I posted a picture of a green Geo Stang over in the favorite hutch thread.
Howdy, a buddy of mine recently inherited a collection of bourbon bottles (mostly full) and other bourbon go-withs from his grandfather, who use to work in the bourbon industry here in KY. I was wondering if anyone could ID this piece of glass and maybe what it was used for? Is it...
Thanks, don't have too many so far, although I'm not hunting them down through retail venues at this time. Relying on junk shops and flea markets.
I need to find a KY druggists collector so I can see what's out there.
I have druggists from: Louisville, Berea, Lexington, Stanford, Richmond.
Always looking for local druggists and came across this one tucked away on a shelf in a local junk shop. Excited to add it to my collection of KY druggists. Stanford is a small town ~ 25 mi from where I bought it. The bottle is ~3" tall. [attachment=Stanford Druggist(AY)(1)(1)(1).jpg]
