love those Railroad flasks. that looks like a nice mold impression on that example.
I had one in my hands to buy last year, but wasn't quite nice enough.

Hey Leon, one of the first bottles I ever bought at a show was a gorgeous blue Elysian Chemical Co.
from Detroit. should have hung on to that one...

Here's a beauty that I finally got around to getting good pictures of. Its a nice early 1870s western blown spice bottle that is a as crude as any bottle I have owned. Lets see some more super crude stuff! spice1.jpgspice3.jpg The best part about this bottle? Its on ebay right now! This poor college kid needs some money! :p

I noticed this bottle on ebay. How did you come across this example in Minnesota? Does look Western blown except for the lip which doesn't resemble any spice bottles in my collection.

This beauty if from a town upriver about 8 -10 miles from our house.

I saw this in an auction last year. a" Best Possible Example " , it went for over $1,000.00.

that's a tad bit out of my bottle budget...

how sweet it is !!!

What a nice cobalt Sassafras Eye Lotion bottle, Jim!

Here's a cobalt medicine, probably size is its strongest appeal. Riker Hegeman was a New York establishment, I understand. Bitters bottle for scale:

It was dug out west in the 70s, I bought it from the guy who dug it via Facebook. That's what he told me and I figured he would know better than I. The top is very funky though, I will admit.
