CanadianBottles Thanks so much for the link to the trade card...I pulled the trigger on that...not only does it reference Bicycle Club, its a v unique cool advertising card in its self....so thanks again...We'll see if it still smells like fresh cut hay when it gets here : - )
Thanks Bruce....wow great info....so you apply gun oil lightly...and you leave it in there?...kind at art even getting a swab into it...the pipe cleaner wire sounds good...
So the chemicals in the perfume etched the glass?...

American Pontil...very observant...that was early entry day...early entry at the Reno FOHBC National in 2012 was a huge crowd...so I just don't get it...Early entry at most antiques venues are usually the busiest time for selling...as that's when most of the serious...

A friend in the Sacramento CA area asked me if these bottles had any value...someone gave them to her and she wants to sell them and donate the money to a gofundme...can anyone help....thanks
What are the dimensions?...Anyone have an opinion what it was used for?...was it used commercially?...for what product?...Spirit Bear sir...your speculation it was made by a club is interesting...sounds possible...what kind of club would make a bottle like this...I could see this made in rural...

Jim,
Yes thank you so much for putting me in touch with Mike...it was the missing link....
Boy if there is one thing I could say about antique bottles is there are so many avenues...I gravitate to the figurals since I collect all sorts of antique figural sports things....statues, trophies...
OK big news....really big....
When I was researching my Noble Catcher bottle about a year ago I got in contact with Michael E. Anderson. I believe Michael is the world authority on figural bottles. When I spoke to him by phone a year or so ago he was in the process of writing a book on...
I looked over photos on the net of Bullmastiffs and Great Danes (Marmaduke)...and it looks like my first inclination was right....looks more like a bullmastiff...body is more stout than the usual great dane...below some shots of bullmastiffs..My bottle kind of looks half way between these two...
Hey thanks, Nice to be back. And I must say having this forum a go to source is really great to have.
I came up with bull mastiff but it might be the Marmaduke cartoon type dog...whatever breed that is....the big jowls give him sort of a friendly look...Today I got up and looked at it and was...
Can anyone identify the bottle below? I think it's a bull mastiff. It measures 8 3/4" tall, Base 3 7/8" wide, Mouth 1 1/2" osd 1" isd. It has a very nice light purple appearance that doesn't come thru in the photos very well. I like the heavy duty spiked collar.
I picked it up today at an...
