Picked up some really nice bottles at last nights meeting. Its really great having everyone know what your looking for and holding onto and bringing bottles you may be interested in. That is how I got a couple of these. First up is a pair of RARE Baltimore steamers. The one on the left is C.W. Cooke Balto, MD. The C.W. Cooke bottles are almost always seen with a maltese cross motif in the plate and this variation with "Registered" is a very scarce variation. I have only seen 2 others. The second one is a C.L. May Baltimore, MD with a neat bow and arrow motif which is very scarce. They are typically found with crossed American flags in the plate which is common but this variation with the bow and arrow is rare. This one is even dated 1889 on the bottom.
