I am looking mainly for meds and flasks from Texas, but I am intrested in all types of Texas bottles,jugs and advertising. Please drop me a line, and let me know what you have. I will pay good money for the right bottles.
Here is a huge rare applied top Texas med I picked up this weekend. I have more to post, but my computer is acting crazy. This bottle has eluded me for over a decade. I have only seen three examples. One damaged, one not for sale and this one the best of all.

Anybody have any information on these two bottles? Rarity or value? Both are Virginia bottles, and half gallon size. Left embossed "Augusta white lithia water Dr. T.t. fauntleroy mgr. Business office 15 e. Main st. Staunton, VA." The other is "Allegheny water the greatest dyspesia water ever...
These pics are for Sandchip. He expressed interest in seeing this bottle. Dr. Edward Ing moved from Galveston to Houston Texas in 1862. All the adds that have been found for this product date between 1859-1861. The bottle has very crude embossing, and is blown from flint glass. I have seen...
I am looking for info on this ink bottle. I cannot find anything reference to it in any of my books or online. Nice ice blue color, and close to being pontiled.
Thanks for your help.

This weekend I ran into fellow member JAYSEMPORIUM at a small Texas auction. We both scored some killer stuff. Here is a bit of what I bought. The first is two very early rare Dr. Pepper tip trays that date to around 1910. The condition is not over the moon, but these are two RARE trays.
Procured a few new bottles last week.
"Robacks' Scandinavian Blood Purifier Purely Vegatable", "Dr. Henley's IXL Graperoot Bitters" "Robacks Stomach Bitters Cincinatti Ohio" and a pineapple figural.

Thanks for looking!

Here is an odd one I scooped up off of ebay that was badly listed in a box lot. I have never owned a bottle like this one. It has a crazy flared lip like I have never seen on any bottle I have held, and has a smooth base. Again I have never seen a smooth based bottle with a flared lip. The...
Here is a killer little bottle I recently procured in the strangest of ways. The story of how I got it will come out in the future either through Peachridge glass' site or possibly in a Bottles and extras article. It is a nice 4 3/4" cobalt bottle with completely smooth base. From my research...
I picked this group of bottles up last weekend for resale. The best bottles in the pic are a Home Bitters Company St. Louis, Mobil oil Gargoyle, Congress & Empire and the Flapper soda. They are not amazing bottles, but all are pretty good. The best part is none have damage, and all but a...
Has anyone seen this guy before or have a listing for it. I know many of the early Texas sodas, but I know next to nothing about acl bottles. I know it is a long shot. Thanks for your help.
A customer has offered to sell this to me. It is in working condition, has hand painted flowers, marked daisy with two other mfg. names as well. Has anyone seen one like it? Any idea of rarity? The price she gave me is more than fair in my mind, and I want to learn a bit more before I...
I went to see my best collector friend this weekend, and managed to get a couple really nice bottles from him. The Cherokee med from Galveston is the only undamaged example that any of us has seen to date. The only other example to ever come up was posted on this site, but it is badly broken...
Sorry for the double post, but my other thread got no responses to the possible use of this bottle. I am really interested in what this med contained or treated. It is extremely rare, and I cannot find any records of the company/office.
I have spent probably twenty minutes just trying to...
I went to the Houston show today, and it is was much better than the last time I went. I thought I was going to leave empty handed, but by a stroke of luck I bought two bottles I did not own from a box that was not even out for sale from a dealer friend of mine. Three came from a close friend...
I am have posted some about a couple of these, but here are some clearer pics of all of them. Usually like to take my pics outside, but it is dark outside. I also had the time to do it. Thanks for looking. First we have the IXL Chill Cure.
