ORIGINAL: 808 50th State

Mike,
The CL RICHARDS is a very plain looking black glass whiskey bottle that has small embossing that goes around the shoulder, (circa 1858), according to the revised Hawaiian Bottles of Long Ago book (1988), there are only 5 or less known good examples of the bottle and the only Hawaiian Bottle that is embossed S.I. (Sandwich Islands), this particular bottle was in the rarity case at last years bottle show...

We have a very similar shoulder embossed sixth from SF. It is usually dark green, has a iron pontil and is embossed "Barry & Patton, 114 & 116 Montgomery St, S.F." around the shoulder, much like the Richards. It is a distinct possibility that both are products of the same, possibly Philadelphia, glass house.
