    Old Bottle vs Art Piece?

    Thank you for the excellent information! While I was wrong about the turn mold and should have remembered how they were created, I don't feel the piece is very old (50-60 yrs vs 160 yrs) given the lack of overall wear to the piece. The opening at the top also is not wide enough to seem useful...

    Old Bottle vs Art Piece?

    Very pretty bottle about 9 inches tall - no mold lines so I think it might be a turn mold. It as a thick applied top and a metal screw cap clamped over the bottle top. It has an open pontil that still feels rough and not worn down and not much wear on the bottom. Is this an art piece done in...

    Hello from Coos Bay Oregon!

    I collect Owl Drugs - poisons and most anything embossed pre 1900. I sell the slicks and more common bottles in an antique store space on Hwy 101 in town.

    Really nice idea and execution.

    Fantastic McCallums Scot green bottle at garage sale

    Yes I was able to look at it in the direct sunlight and backlit I can see the very faintest lines running up to the top. The trail of glass running down the front from the top made me think it was tooled (I said applied but again used the wrong term) I found mention of early ABM machines having...

    Fantastic McCallums Scot green bottle at garage sale

    Wouldn't have pegged it as an ABM but a BIM with a tooled lip - I was excited to see one sell at auction for $375 a few years back. I love small town sales

    Fantastic McCallums Scot green bottle at garage sale

    Found this gem at a local garbage sale/ garage sale where you get to dig through boxes in sheds and the garage. Found several tooled lipped slicks and early large slick brown blob tops then saw this dusty jewel in a box. Best dollar I've spent in awhile.

    What is this?

    I agree but maybe a tent stake?

    NJ 1948 plate.

    Some of the older plates have nearly as much character as many bottles. They certainly sell well at the antique store where our booth is. Nice plate.

    Clean JF Cutter Whiskey from thrift store

    I love when I find a really great whiskey at a thrift store. Sitting at the back of the shelf surrounded by cheap vases this guy was just waiting for someone to take him home. Not an overly rare Western whiskey but rare to find one in such good condition.

    Russian Caviar bottle?

    Found this one in a thrift today - looks to be hand blown with the pour spout applied after blowing as is the top fin - not the finest example of glass blowing but cool enough I had to buy it. I can't find any image like it after a brief search - I think its a caviar bottle maybe? too small for...

    Small whiskey style bottle with a syrup label

    That would keep your mouth clean I guess!:p

    Small whiskey style bottle with a syrup label

    I guess they really caught the attention of the US gov. with the label. This bottle was found on the South Oregon Coast - I wonder if it was part of the seizure and sale?

    Native american chief belt buckle.

    beautiful patina on the buckle. I'd guess 40's at the earliest. War Bonnets were mainly worn by native American plains tribes so seeing mountains in the background would lead me to believe it was more of an idea of the Native American vs a specific tribe. As for the Thai auction - I trust their...

    2 interesting alcohol bottles

    I've seen a couple of versions of webs and spiders - this is a very nice one! The spider placement in the center on both sides is very desirable.

    Small whiskey style bottle with a syrup label

    hello all! here's a little bottle I found in a junk shop today - looks like an BIM applied lip? whiskey that may have been used to bottle maple syrup. The label looks to be the same period as the bottle and has a 1906 date on the bottom of the label. Any thoughts? I can't find anything on the...
