What's your favorite bottle from pre 1900 look like ?

D.T. Sweeny was the first bottler in Key West, I believe he moved to the island in 1874.

Thanks for the info! Between my book and the George Smathers library I had come up with the same info but just couldn't nail down if it was from before or after the Chas B. Fogarty bottles.

I try not to look at trades from a monetary standpoint. I look at it like, my friend who is a Key West med bottle collector got what he wanted and I got a colored Sweeny that I've been after for years. The only loss to me is I gave up a bottle I dug myself for one that I didn't.

The Sweeny is actually a soda bottle and a very rare one at thatl. I don't plan on selling it but I'm fairly certain that I could get $1500 for it on eBay. The guy I traded with is a good friend of mine and he's a med bottle collector so I'm happy with the trade.

My personal holy grail of bottles!!

So this one I got through a trade. Unfortunately I had to give up the blue medicine bottle from my previous post to get it but I'm good with that. D T Sweeny came to Key West in 1874 and became the first bottler on the island. At the time there were only a few fresh water wells and springs so...
