I apologise for not being on the forum for a long time, all good intentions, but no time to back them up. Will try to be back again more frequently, here's hoping.
One of the things that has been taking up excessive time is getting the catalogue ready for the next auction, Auction 5. I have not mentioned previous auctions on here frequently as there has not been anything of huge interest to the US market, we do have a few interesting items this time around which I feel are worth bringing to your attention?
For the fruit jar collectors, we have a few Australian Fruit Jars including the super rare PINT size Chicago Fruit Jar, Lot 245 in the auction.
We have a nice American pot lid from X Bazin in an elongated octagonal shape, this is Lot 380 in the auction.
There is a superb rarity in the bittters field, Dr Grants Dandelion Bitters, New York, this is a cabin bitters embossed on the four shoulder panels, of which there are only two or three undamaged examples known including this one, we believe this to be a Melbourne company from the late 1800's. This is Lot 384 in the auction.
Possibly the most significant item in the auction is an American cathedral pickle that was found in Australia. It has remnants of an iron or graphite pontil and is almost certainly from the Willington Glassworks. A superb, highly detailed piece of glass, this is Lot 190 in the auction.
