Post a pic of the best bottle you own or have ever owned

[Wilkie]

Pioneer Whiskey from San Francisco. This is the later version, tooled top. Worth about 700 bucks. This is actually the least valuable of the Pioneer whiskey's.

This was a yard sale find in the late 70's. I seem to recall paying 15 dollars for it, I was a kid so it couldn't have been much more than that.

GARDNER&LANDON SHARON SULPHUR WATER.Just tumbled by Digger Ry. Came out beautiful!

The base(Didn't mean to make the last picture life size)Always wondered what kind of pontil that is?

Not sure if it is "my best", but certainly up there... and a really cool IMPRESSIVE bottle!

It is a demijohn size bottle (towers over that quart Lamoille mineral water!), very Stoddard looking, olive amber color, tiny seed bubbles, applied double collared top, and an iron PONTIL base....

and embossed!... "OLD VIRGINIA PEACH BRANDY"!

One of those bottles that you hold and say, "what the hell..."

Best and favorite bottle is the "Dr. Manly Hardy's - Jaundice Bitters - Bangor ME" that I recovered a few years back in the waters off Eastport, Maine. It is very whittled, open pontiled and has a top that I have not seen on most other examples.

This is the best one I ever owned. Picked it up at a antique shop for $73.00. My family talked me into selling it because they were afraid that it might get damaged. I sold it on ebay for $1550.00. Nice profit but now probably worth double that. I wish I still had it as it was one the nicest bottle I ever layed eyes on.
