Saratogas & Poisons

Thanks! My photos don't show the true beauty but I'll keep trying.

Your photos are great! I wish I had a window to display my bottles in - I have mine in a cabinet that doesn't have lighting right now and usually take them outside or to my sunroom to get photos.

I put museum gel on the bases to prevent any tragedies. My American Bulldog pup is a "flinger" of toys.

Nice display, Jane... And welcome to our little club...

Hey Cindy...

That "Rock" on your Highrock looks like a flickering flame in that lighting... Nice Christmas booty!!!

Nice mineral waters guys... and gals!

Although they all have the same form, I love the character of the Stoddard glass mineral waters. Here is an example of a pint size in a light honey amber....

Jane, the honey amber "E" is available and not uncommon, you should be able to find one.

Good luck!

That's one beautiful bottle, earlyglass! It's exactly the color quart I'm looking for. Years ago I used to belong to the Saratoga Collectors Society which had lots of members set up at the bottle show in Saratoga Springs. You could walk into the show and find top shelf examples regularly but not so much anymore. I saw one Stoddard E quart this year and there was a stampede to the table to buy it. Gone in the first 2 minutes of the show. I never even got near the table in the rush.

Thanks Jane. Yes, the good stuff is becoming increasingly difficult to find. What was once "common" is now an edangered species! Even the pieces that we take for granted today will become difficult to obtain for future collectors.

I have had a few of the quarts. If I get another any time soon, I will certainly contact you.

Thanks Mike. I check your site regularly hoping one will turn up. Do let me know if one does. That Vaughn's is tempting though.
