    Strap sided flasks are rare from most southern states. Add an anchor the the reverse and the "wow factor" go way up. I am the proud owner of an aqua quart size strap sided flask embossed ROGERS, MARTYN & COMPANY/ ORLANDO, FLA. It is embossed using a round slug plate and has an applied top...

    What is the most valuable bottle that you own or have sold?

    Not exactly an answer to original question but the most expensive two bottles (one is a jug) I have in my collection is; (1) the bottle is olive shaded green like a lot of Saratoga type bottles and the same shape. What makes this bottle different and extremely rare is the embossing, it is...

    Hutchinson sample bottle for sale

    In the 1880’s Hutchinson stopper bottles were offered to interested bottlers as a sales promotion for free or a nominal charge. In that respect these are sample bottles and made by several different glass companies. These bottles are not as common as a lot of embossed hutches but not rare in my...

    Another Pensacola bottle question

    William Hudson used a Codd closure when he first stated in the soda water business because Carre (Mobile) had the rights to the Mathew's gravitating stopper in Pensacola. There exists at least 3 styles of the Codd bottle he used embossed with his name. One variant appears to be English made...

    Ponce DeLeon Spring Water

    I would like to purchase a bottle from St Augustine, FLa. It is a mineral water shaped bottle made in the 1890's that has a monogram on the front of the bottle. The monogram is a F with an H over the F. I believe this monogram is a logo for the Flagler Hotel that opened in the late 1880's...

    What's the deal, why all but worthless?!

    It was explained to me years ago by a wise man; "One man's trash is another man's treasure". After digging bottles for nearly 50 years and focusing on strictly to specific types of bottles from Florida, I find more pleasure in learning about the history of the bottler, the community and if...

    Old Rum Bottle find pre1700?

    Based on coins we found with similar bottles in Charleston, SC I would guess 1820 +/- 10 years. We found Spanish coins dating back to the 1780's and US coins from the first and second decade of the 1800's. Nice piece, I would have left the oysters on it.
