    HELP WANTED WHICH POTTERY MADE THE BUFFALO AND SYRACUSE GINGER BEER BOTTLES

    There was a company called Sherwood Brothers Pottery in New Brighton, Pa. that made a lot of ginger beer bottles. It would have likely been them.

    Weird glass cat

    I've seen some little glass dogs similar to that and they were described as 1920s Cracker Jack prizes made in Czechoslovakia.

    Unknown bitters ???

    I would consider them to be ketchup bottles but they could have held something else. Neither of them are common and an amber ketchup bottle is a very hard thing to find.

    I bought the same one about 12 years ago and haven't seen one since, so it must be pretty rare. One of the few early fancy colognes that has an embossed name. 1840s era, probably.

    Glass sticks to itself, so not glass. Something else, maybe wood, could have ended up in the mold.

    Does anyone recognize this bottle mark?

    I saw a mark like that on the base of one of those British blown Christmas lights. Find someone who collects them and you might get an answer.

    Pontilled latticcino pink and white bottle

    1950s Murano is most likely, but Sandwich in MA and Clichy in France made similar designs in lead glass in the second half of the 19th century.

    Interesting Bottle

    I would say some kind of powder, probably tooth powder or talcum powder.
