Here is a whiskey bottle I found at an estate sale today. The bottle reads LAMBE & DEMARKE FINE WHISKEY ARKANSAS CITY, ARK. It is a blown and mold that is 6 5/8'' tall. The design on the bottom is debossed in the bottle. I have not been able to find any information on this bottle. If anybody has...
Here is a bottle I picked up at an antique store yesterday. Come to find out it's a fairly rare early version (1860 - 1875) of Anheuser Busch beer bottle. The embossing on the bottle reads E. ANHEUSER & Co. St Louis Mo. It's in pretty good condition with a little bit of outside staining and 2...
Here is a jug that I found at a yard sale last week. The jug reads HIGH GRADE LIQUORS SAN ANTONIO LIQUOR CO. The jug is 9 1/2'' tall by 5 1/2'' wide (half gallon). I haven't been able to find out too much information on it. I was told by one collector, he had a friend that paid about $400 for...
Here is a jug I bought at a car show in Luling last week. It was holding up a sign in front of a '34 Ford. I haven't been able to find out very much about it, except someone said it was suppose to be an extremely scarce jug. As you see the name on it is not very clear, but I think is says LOUIS...
I saw this in a consignment store in Austin, and I knew I had to have it. I do not collect english beer bottles, but this one was just too neat to pass up. It is a 2 gallon Lyle's Unrivalled Brewed Ginger Beer from Turnbridge Wells. It is 18.5" tall without the top. The top is ceramic with...
Here's another Texas patented medicine bottle SAXET BLOOD PURIFIER, SAXET MEDICIENE CO. DALLAS, TEXAS. The bottle has a cowboy on a bucking horse embossed on it along with the name. The bottle measures 9 and 3/8'' tall and BIM. The friend I bought it from said this is the only one that he has...
Here's a picture of a bottle I dug a couple of weeks ago. It is an amber blown in mold crown top Joy bottle that is 8" tall. Joy is written in script, and in the top part of the "J" is written "drink". Down below Joy in part of the "Y" is written "no tax on it". On the left hand side of "Joy" is...
When out digging again the other day. Didn't find a whole lot of good stuff. But had fun trying. Here are some pics. The bottles sticking out turned out to be unembossed.
I finally found another place to dig last year, but was only able to dig a couple of times due to the hot weather. I went back this week, and took pictures of the dump.
I bought some bottles at an estate sale today, one of them is a coors beer bottle and I can not find any information on coors bottles in any of my bottle books, so I hope someone can help. The bottle is 7 1/2" tall. It is a light honey amber with a crown top and it is BIM. It is sort of a squat...
This is a bottle that I dug today. When I pulled it out of the hole, piece of the lip came off which I have. It reads Chapa's C.C.C.C. will cure you San Antonio Texas. I can not find any info on this bottle. Any help will be appreciated.
Here are pictures of the better bottles after they have been cleaned. From top left to right. J.R. Stafford's Olive Tar, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, and San Marcos Pharmacy. From bottom left to right. Cobalt Blue Ink and One Ounce True Dentalloy.
It was cool enough today to go back to the dump and do alittle digging. I only find a few keepers but I guess thats better than not finding anything. Here is a picture of what I brought back.
I bought this bottle on ebay and I can not find a listing in any of my bottle books for it. I was wondering about rarity and value. (Liebig's Fit Cure An English Remedy Dr. AB.Meserole 96 John St. New York)
It is 8" tall and BIM w/tooled lip.
Thanks,

I have Tippecanoe display stands for sale. I think they are a good way to display your Tippecanoe bottle without fear of it tipping over. The stands are made of Pine and they measure 10 3/8" long and 5 1/2" wide, and stained and coated with Polyurethane finish. I am selling them for $40 and...

I had both of these bottles for about 20 yrs. The one on the left is a R. Garrett & Sons Leven and it is a 11 3/8" tall with inside screw threads and it is a.b.m. It has a diamond pattern in front and plain on the back for a paper label. I think it might be a whiskey bottle, but not sure...
This is a jug that I dug out of a Fort Worth dump back in 1975 and I have never been able to get a value on it. Any help will be appreciated.
