Barbers bottles for sale

[Angelpeace]

Here are a couple of barbers bottles that Jamie plans to take to the Rome Bottle Show in February. He and I decided to offer them for sale on here first though, in case any of you are interested and won't be able to make the show.
The first bottle is an amethyst, hobnail barbers bottle made from the late 1880's to around 1910. It is bimold. One exactly like it was sold in the 1997 Glassworks Auction, which we still have a copy of if anyone would like to see it. It was listed as rare in this color and sold for over $400.00. The bottle is 7 1/2 inches high, smooth based, perfect with no chips of any kind, and it has the stopper. I can't say for certain that it is the origional stopper that went with the bottle, but it is the one that came with it when I bought it.
A chance to buy a very beautiful barbers bottle. Asking price is $200.00, with an additional $20.00 for insured US Postal Priority Mail shipping.
Let's begin with a full shot of the bottle

If you love color, it looks really good in a group shot.

This bottle is the same age, late 1800's up to about 1910. It is ruby red in color only, either painted or applied in some way at the time of it's manufacture. It's approximately 6 inches high, fatter in the middle than any Jamie has ever seen (He said he would call it pot bellied), and smooth based. It is one of the cutest and unique barbers bottles either of us has ever seen because of the pot bellied look of it. The stopper, based on the wear of the cork and metal piece, appears to be origional. It's in mint condition.
Asking price is $80.00. This included US Priority Mail. Insurance is extra.
Here is the first shot.

Here is another shot with the stopper out. It also shows how the decoration changes a little on the sides of the bottle.
