Baltimore Glass

[baltbottles]

After cutting my grass today I felt the lighting was good for taking some pictures. Here are some early Baltimore pieces. I hope everyone enjoys them...

Here's my Mckay & Clark Ten Pin soda. The partnership between James McKay and John Clark lasted from sometime in 1850 until October 20th 1853

This is my pair of Cole & Co Ten Pins both are different molds one the embossing is quite a bit lower on the bottle and on the reverse has Street abbreviated St. And the other bottle has it spelled out. This partnership was between Charles A Cole and Christopher F. Brown and lasted from 1849-1850. Before 1849 Brown was partnered with Philip Gardner.

This is a nice sort of a light yellow olive colored Gardner & Brown torpedo. This bottle was used by the partnership of Philip Gardner and Christopher F. Brown from 1846 to 1848.

Here is my apricot copper colored Chapman's Soda torpedo. This could be Baltimore's earliest embossed soda bottle possibly dating as early as 1840 and spurring the use of the Torpedo and Ten Pin forms in Baltimore during the 1840s

Now on to some medicines..... Still have a ton of research to do on most of these..... I will get to it when I get all the soda stuff straightened out...

Pair of large Davis & Miller pontiled bottles in Blue and Aqua... I believe these could be master inks rather then medicines.

Large and small sized Davis & Miller Wedge shaped bottles.....

Shepherds Sarsaparilla, Dr Martin's Syrup of Wild Cherry, Edwards Pain Extracting Lotion

R. GIbney's Tetterwash, Ober & McConkey's Specific For Fever & Ague, McKenzie & Co Baltimore

A few nice colored Baltimore made utilities.....

Great stuff as always Chris, love those Torp's...Jim

is that Ober & McConkey's Specific a tapered body or just a photo illusion?

 

[baltbottles]

It might taper slightly but I think its a photo illusion..
