This historic Pikes Peak flask was found in confederate ghost town of Indianola, Texas in the 1960s. Located in the bay of Matagorda, it started off in the 1840s and became the main port of Texas with Galveston 2nd. Indianola was one of the main entries for the spree of Czech and German...
Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the great eBay bottle sales to happen. A stunning, iron pontiled, Hollywood wine bottle from Natchez, MS. May I inform you that a colbalt blue version sold for $23,000. This bottle is being offered by my dear friend and mentor, the great bottle dealer Jay...
This opium bottle was dug in Galveston, Texas. It is a three piece mold, which I believe it’s a oddity for a bottle this small. Crude looking lip. Whittling also. Although not pontiled, the base looks very early. I would date this to the 1850s/60s. What would you?

A decent one from my hometown of Yoakum.
Not much info about this bottler. This bottle is ABM and dates to the 1920s. Formerly part of the largest collection of Texas bottles ever assembled; the David Cole collection.

original Biedenharn hutch is. Bought this one last Saturday for $150. I have seen high and low prices. No real damage on this one.
