Darn beautiful bottle....

[BottleArchaeologist]

Here are the pics of the Williams' Balsamic Cream of Roses.

It is crude and has the markings SF and PGW (San Francisco and Pacific Glass Works) on the base.

Someone must know of the worth to some extent. Is this a scarce bottle?

PS: Pics look good?

Kovel's 11th edition has this one listed with same base embossing for $145. Doesn't sound too shabby. Still nothing about my O.J.'s or poison. Keep pulling these awesome bottles out, and I will try to help you out with the references I have. R.C.

Thanks Digger.

I would put your poison in the 25.00 range. I know nothing about the OJ's but I am still looking.

Those are beautiful bottles. I have dug them in Sacramento, Oakland and other local towns. Yours is the second variation of John Williams' bottle, which was originally trademarked in 1881. The ones with the San Francisco and Pacific Coast Glass Works base embossing date from the early '90s to shortly after the turn of the twentieth century. The lip form on your example places it at the beginning of that time frame. I will scare up the trademark information and pass it on.

Reminds me a bit of the WAKELEE'S CAMELINE, but is more rare.
