RE: Newest Saratoga's

Joel -
Thanks... I believe it's a pint. Squat in form w/ a short stubby neck. I'll give you a close-up of the lip from the original (larger) photo, but I need to take one from the other side. It's much cruder.

I was looking for a fast, simple way to take shots of glass today. The photos came out fairly good considering how I did it. I was going to show or describe this in another thread tomorrow (or soon). It's so easy ...even a caveman can do it. []


PS - You can use the 'edit' button (on the top of each post) if you have forgotten something, corrections, have something to add or subtract, and so on. []

Hi Meech,
Nice example of a "mountain glass" mineral water - which I think are hard ones to photograph. I believe that yours is a C-10:C, type 2 according to Tucker, listed as scarce with the pontil scarred base. Are there periods after "White" and "York"?

Here's a pic of the top ---

Hi Cindy - This is an extremely hard bottle to photograph. This was at least my fifth attempt. There is a period, that is more square than round, after the word YORK. No markings after WHITE. Also, thanks for the lookup on this. I don't have any reference (books) on these.

Saratoga's have a style all there own. Here is a sratoga style that doesn't have the fine features we all appreciate in those bottles. Such as, the whittle (really chisel?), bubbles, strectches and crude varying thickness' to the glass.

These seal bottles, saratoga in style, were massed produced in Philly and Baltimore from the mid 1800-s through to about 1880's. They are lacking the beauty you see in the two above real saratoga.

Still I am interrested in learning more about this bottle.

I believe it was wvhillbilly who noted the 241 maple street address embossed in the seal as being just down the street from the eg booz establishment.

Any one knowing anything about this complany JT & Co, please let me kow.
Thanks Joel
