Connecticut Bottle list

[NewEnglandGlass]

Has anyone ever made a Conn Bottle's list? I have seen a Western states and R.I But have not been able to locate a Conn one. Any help greatly appreciated.

I can't think of one. It usually ends up the burden of the clubs and it's members. Baltimore has one for that alone. I can't think of a club in Conn. of hand but they do have shows.

I did this a few years ago. Certainly not all encompassing, its just meds, and I dont update it.

Wow, that must have been a daunting task to even attempt.

There's a few of us with lists in our heads! But that's about it as far as I know. There is the somers club, the south eastern club, a few others but I haven't heard of any lists outside of lists for particular glass works. I was working on one for new London, and a list of new London bottles. A list of ct bottles would in it's self be a huge undertaking!

Sounds like a fun project could take a very long time but the best things in life are always worth waiting for.
If anyone would like to contribute a partial list or have single bottles to describe please let me know ill start Compiling What i currently own from Ct and get some others from fellow diggers and collectors i know. Thanks for the input everyone.
Should i include photos of each bottle as well as bottle type,height, width,Color, etc?

I think the more complete the list the better, the one thing I didn't really like about some other lists out there is that all they are is a list, the more information the better... I have a few files to contribute, bit all back east right now. I had one of the largest collections of new London druggists and blob tops... And now a few old time coectors who could contribute. I think a cross reference would be excellent... Was so
Erving I always wanted the time to do...

The Somers Antique Bottle Club has a CT bottle list, We`ve been working on it for as long as I can remember, and right now it takes 5 or 6 large loose leaf binders to keep it. Every year I always manage to find a couple to add to it. The only requirement is that it has to be embossed CT, Conn., Connecticut, or some variation of it. This includes milks too. Unfortunately it isn`t readily available, I think that will be something to work on, getting it all downloaded onto a disk. We have a standard form we use for each bottle, which makes it easy to use. Here`s a copy of it, my scanner trimmed a little off the top and bottom, but you get the idea.
