I'll start this off. The "Schultz" closure Solyer bottle from Galveston is probably my favorite. Just a strange looking bottle...dates to roughly 1875. This is one of three styles of bottles that Solyer used.
That's a weird one! Looks like a Frankenbottle put together out of pieces of a couple different types.

It’s a 6 oz bottle for an old dispensing machine! Longhorn is the trademark!

My favorite is this caveman hutch from Galveston. Runner up would be this blob. Canterbury & Curtis. It is a transition bottle as the Texas Bottling Works traded hands between the two gentlemen. Also, for some reason they anglicized the partners name. It is Cortes (which is how he list himself on all his other bottles) not Curtis. There are a couple of Texas codd. Bottles out there too, but I don't have a whole one to share.

For some reason the caveman hutch has never attracted me. Apparently I’m one of the only ones who doesn’t like it!
