ATTN: Patent & Glass house whiskey collectors

Nice Whitney Lobes...

The 1860's into the early 70's seemed to be the most common period for American Patents. I have seen a few later but only a small handful earlier. Some of the earliest seem to be the Iron Pontil 2 peice mold Doyttville cylinders. Has anyone seen or does anyone have any pontiled examples besides the Doyttville bottles? Ricketts Patent bottles were manufactured as ealry as the late 1820's... There should be a few to fill in the gap?

The American Patents seem to coincide with the civil war, wonder if there is some connection there?

I have a pontiled Ricketts with the PATENT embossing on the shoulder slug plated out of the mold.
First I have ever seen with this .

Tigue ,
I also had a PATENT whiskey with the reverse N . My example was smooth base .

I would like to see them both Brian. Never saw the Rickett without Patent embossed... all though most of them you have to look real hard to see!

Do you know what became of your backwards N Patent?

 

[BRIAN S.]

I think there are some pics somewhere on this site of the Ricketts . It is packed away ....... I will see if I can dig it out and get some pics .
The reverse N ..... well , I sold it on ebay several years back . I may have some pics of it on floppy ..... I will look and see.

P.S. Did you just recently get your reverse N on ebay ? I saw one sell recently on there ......... and no mention of the reverse N in the sellers description . But it was in plain sight in his pics.

thanks Bob, I would like to see a pic of yours, as there are a few variantions.

My backweards N was a personal find, local, Brian. I cant believed I missed the one on E-bay, I do a Patent search at least once a week! O-well...

 

[BRIAN S.]

tigue ,
I went back and looked thru the completed auctions. I can't find it ..... it didn't have the word PATENT in the listing or title . I ran across it doing a search for something else ...... and saw in one of the pics that it was a PATENT bottle and with the reverse N . If I run across it .... I will post the link.

Matt,

I've herd that there is one embossed Baker Bros Baltimore Glassworks that is iron pontiled. I have never seen one personally but two of the oldtime Baltimore diggers said they found one years ago. If anyone out there has this bottle I'll pay quite well for it. Would also like a Hezekiah Star snuff jar if anyone has one they would like to sell.
