Anyone else go to the Clevenger auction?

This looks like Westmoreland's Grape they made a huge selection in milk glass and I think Imperial may have used the mold.

Good evening all. I was also at the auction of the Clevenger molds, etc. Bought quite a few things myself - the Stoddard blown-three-mold and stopper, Star & Dewdrop Salt pressed mold, Large Creamer mold, several snap case tools - including two for the Booz bottle, puntey rod, lots of Clevenger paper info, catalogs, scrapbooks full of photos - useful for my book on Clevenger Brothers coming out soon, and numerous hand tools and pattern molds. Over the past year, I've also bought the MacArthur flask mold, as well as other dip and dump molds from Clevengers, including those for the chicken and two of the turtles.

KentOhio - drop me an email at tchaunton@comcast.net and I'll fill you in on info on some of your molds and tools. You are correct that many were never used at Clevengers. Owner Jim Travis, who died in July 2007, purchased many from now defunct factories to be cut up and used as Clevenger commemorative bottles. I'd be careful about using the Chemung mold. Travis produced a number of these bottles and was threatened with a lawsuit by the company who owned the patent (still in business, I think) if he didn't cease and desist. (Advertisements in Old Bottle Magazine) Travis made them in amber and green - I have one of each.

I tried posting some of my pics from the auction, but my photo files are too Attached is a 1950s photo I have of the Stoddard mold I bought.

Watch out for my Clevenger book soon. Volume 2 about their South Jersey contemporaries such as Emil Larson, Hofbauer, and about 30 more.

All the best,

Tom Haunton
