Hi Eric,I didn't get to go yet [:(] hopefully this week. I have been going thru boxes of my Aunts,all kinds of neat old things. Heather seems very nice, I wonder if she knows anything else, like what happened to the molds etc. or knows who does or if anyone has paperwork? I saw another Santa...
@cowseatmaize , I hope M.G husted gets the recognition for these bottles now and thank you for the info on the flasks interesting stuff!@MichaelFla, I wonder how many people do sell nice bottles at yard sales or like @sandchip found just throw treasure out with the trash. It makes me sad that...
Update on the Santa BottleI recieved an email back from M.G Husted's Great Grandaughter
"Rika, YES I have heard about the Santa bottles and can confirm that he made them. I don't think anyone in the family has any, my grandpa sold almost all of what we had that he crafted. There's a little...
Hi Ron,Thank you for the offer, I am still thinking about what I want to do with the bottles since this is all new to me but I will let you know. Erika
cowseatmaize , I sent a message to MG Husted great granddaughter to see if she knows, seems she is a librarian so she may be helpful.cannibalfromhaaibal, "Ever watch the metal detectorists hoot, holler and do cartwheels over finding a crusty button on the diggers show? You should hear the...
Great Site! RED Matthews alot of information for me to look at and thank you for your comments. Sunrunner I was looking at your blog also, I cant believe you actually are able to dig up bottles, wow! very cool
Wow! Thank you guys, not what I expected. I would never have thought bottles could make you emotional. I am torn between the fascination of them, their history and beauty and its a great little starter collection and then the fact that I could really use some money. Will have to think about this...

Here is the 2nd small green one with the cork and also two that I believe are reproductions the first a Jenny Lind that on the left side has the 6 leaves and twig but I didn't understand who that means it was made by. The 2nd is a G. Washington, I was only able to find one pic of an original but...
I have two small green ones that I like alot I think they must be made by the same person the 2nd one has a cork in it. Here is a rounded bottle one, neat looking & fun but seems like a bad idea lol thanks for looking Erika
Thank you! everyone,you are all very kind. Here are a few more. I also have a bixby and a Sanford bitters but they seem to be very common, but are still cool. This one I find interesting with the metal top, what was this for?
I am glad I started researching these bottles I was going to just sell them all in my yard sale for 5-$10 each. One is a Santa Claus M.G Husted and after researching it and him I am getting attached to it, I hope I am not catching the bottle bug lol. How do I find out about the ones with no...
Found these bottles in boxes I inherited. I cannot find if they made repro's of these or if this is an original? Sailboat on the front and New Jersey Bridgetown on the back. [attachment=photo (2).JPG] [attachment=photoc.JPG] [attachment=photoa (2).JPG]
