Recent pickups - Early American glass

[tncgal]

Meech,

I'll check my EAPG books for these ~ may take a few days, as there are several to peruse.

Whiskey - It's okay to miss some posts, but not mine. [] That's pretty funny...I was talking about items that I picked up then, not pickup trucks.

Sean - Yes, I got them for a bit under $200. I had several picked out and on the counter and was only going to buy the toilet water. Then my wife said " If you're not going to buy that shaker bottle then I will." Sounded perfect to me! So I picked out a stoneware bottle to add to my purchase.

The shop owner travels many times a year to the New England area and buys a lot of early pieces. He'll be back sometime this weekend with more and better pieces. We already have a trip planned back to this shop. I had my eye on a nice scent bottle last time I was there and hope to get it too.

tncgal - They are both blown 3 mold. They are close, but not the same as those mentioned above in American Glass. Take your time researching these, 'cause I'm in no hurry and don't go outta your way.

I thank everyone for their replies and help.

Mass Money here, I have only been able to find one, but had to look close to see AMU (something like that anyway
a repo but they marked them all. American Univercity of history and industry (Or something, been a while back)

Hi David E -
I really don't understand your reply. Are you saying these are repros? If so, could you post the source?

You also mention markings, how were the ones you described marked? By a sticker?

The ones pictured above have typical base wear from that era (very hard to photograph). I have my doubts about them being repros.

Hey Meech, "no" I don't think they are repo's. Blown three mould is pricey and very hard to find. I just mentioned the piece I had to claim tha't the closest and probally was lucky enough to have just found a Repo. Mine was not made to fool somebody, it was just a education piece and there was no problem seeing the lettering
on it. It was a small picture with the geometric pattern in green.
Sorry if I wrote that first message up and it was confusing, just wanted to tell you that you were very lucky and skilled

Hi David E -
Thanks for replying again on this. You had me really worried and pounding the books around here. Buying these in the shop is even harder. Before I rinsed them off, they were thick with dirt and grime. That makes it hard to see wear and other clues.

Blown three mould is pricey and very hard to find.

I completely agree. I was over excited, to say the least, looking at items in this place. I hope to get some good pieces this weekend.

Thanks for the kind words also.

Meech, I'm making some progress. I've found a few that are really close and will post pictures this week. Meanwhile, I'm waiting to hear about the goodies you bought this weekend.

Cliff, I have a pretty good match for yours also, and will post that as well.

Meech, I didn't forget you.
I haven't reached a definitive ID, but have a few close prospects to show you from Boston & Sandwich. The 1st is a qt. mold blown decanter in a rare ribbed pattern.

These are vinegar bottles.
