Hey, I'm just wondering, if you could commission either a repro or a fantasy bottle, what would you have it be? This goes for flasks, medicines, bitters, etc. I think I might actually make something some day and need some ideas. My ideas so far:
1. Repro of Harrison campaign flask
2. Dr. Pierce's Least Favorite Prescription (I think I read that here somewhere.)
3. Nasty Ass Bitters

I would repro a kingfisher O.T. hutch its a local bottle and goes for about 300-400 and no one would expect a repo so I would be quite wealthy because they are in demand

It would also be neat to have a repro of the Bryant's Stomach Bitters cone. I could charge money for people to have their pictures taken with it, lol.

I have thought about making reproduction bottles with words that are very collectable such as cure and bitters. I am not going to go through with it or anything because I know little about glass blowing but I have come up with some good names that people would go crazy over. All would of course have to be cobalt blue and have an open pontil!

I would make Civil War Period Bottles in AQUA so that reenactors could have some proper bottles to use. Scroll flasks, Jenny Linds, CORRECT peppersauce, fluted Ketchup bottles... etc.

I almost bought the old Clevenger Brother Scroll flask mold a few months back off of Ebay, to have some blown on commission for me to sell to reenactors.
