Bottles to trade

[MichaelFla]

I have a few bottles in my collection that I need to weed out. Looking to trade for some decent Florida bottles. Feel free to contact me with any questions. These bottles have not been cleaned by me. They are all in the condition I received them. I have others, but need to decide what is going and take pics of them, too. I posted this in general chat area yesterday. Couldn't find the buy,sell, & swap area.

Okay, so... very little interest in these bottles. Can anybody give me an approximate value so I can attempt to sell them?

Do you have any other bottles you would be willing to trade?

 

[MichaelFla]

I do, but I'm not sure just what yet. Still going through them. Are you looking for anything in particular or just any bottles from Illinois?

 

[Bottleworm]

I like figural bitters bottles. I can't afford many but every now and then I can get one. I also collect all bottles from Illinois except crown tops, screw tops, milk bottles unless one is from Eureka Illinois, and I collect blobs, hutches, meds, whiskies, flasks, bitters, inks, and mostly anything except the ones I listed above. Thanks.

I just went through my Illinois bottles. Unfortunately, other than the De Witt's Stomach Bitters and an ABM Electric Bitter with a crack in it, all I have are a couple extract bottles, some W. B. Caldwell bottles, and a few Foley bottles. Not much in the way of what you're looking for.
I might have a whiskey bottle or flask somewhere that I could trade, but as far as I can recall, none of them have the city on them.

 

[Bottleworm]

That's fine. No problem but one more thing what kind of flask and whiskey bottle are they?

 

[MichaelFla]

Well, it appears as though I have a BIM clear Harvard (KB logo) Rye back bar bottle (Klein Bros, Cincinnati, OH, 1898-1918) with a small internal crack in the lip, a BIM clear Devil's Island / Endurance Gin flask (Dreyfuss, Weil & Co, Padukah, KY ca. 1905-1918), and the ever popular BIM clear Bluthenthal & Bickart "B&B". This last has to date to 1905/1906, because they registered the name in 1905, and the bottle has Atlanta & Cincinnati on the front, but they closed the Atlanta distillery in 1906 because Georgia was becoming a dry state. All of these need a good cleaning, but I can get pics of them if you'd like.
