Theo great collection,thanks for sharing the pictures, Tim thanks for bringing this up to light. Nothing better then regional bottles. Theo one of the two Kellys bitters bottles ( There were two molds ) and the Old Cabin Bitters were blown at the Whitney Glass works in Glassboro New Jersey.Have you researched any of your outstanding bottles as to where they may have been made. I assume Louisville would be a strong candidate along with the Ohio glass factory's.Again thanks for sharing your collection you should be quite proud.
The collection of photos I took was at my friend Arlin Cargills house. He has the largest all around collection of Missouri bottles known. Theo has some outstanding bottles and we were fortunate enough to include some of his killer soda collection along with some other collectors sodas that will be featured in our book.
Theo's along with two other guys, has the top three best from St. Louis by far. Incredible examples of fine early bottles to say the least []
Tell Arlin to take a bow Tim and get on the forum. []Nice bottles from all of you thanks for sharing them. Any idea on the place of manufacture on any of these shown.
Steve,
I had not did any research on any of them. I am just to busy with work and everything going on. I have alot of stuff to get rid of that was my fathers and to sell his property. I recently retorn my shoulder at work and that has slowed everything down but I will get someway.
