You have excellent taste and a good eye Tom. I love your variety of colors and types, but did notice that they are all fairly early bottles with good crudity. Even the commons you have look like the most excellent examples. Good Job, thanks for posting.

Thanks for the replies.I know they are mostly common.
I wouldn't exactly call them commons with the Tippacanoe, the barrel bitters, the scroll flasks, et al. I'd say you've got some nice bottles there. Great display if you ask me.

Great colors! What are the 2 bottles in the upper right hand corner(top shelf) that are similar shape. They are separated by a doyle hops bitters I think. One is emerald and one is Teal. Are those JSP's?

Good eye Joe.The little cabin ink is embossed with two windows on two sides and two windows and a door on the front.The semi cabin bottle is a Geo.C.Hubbel & Co.it is embossed on the two side panels.There is a similar version of this bottle with Golden Bitters embossed on the front panels(more desirable).The Flask is Embossed WM.Frank &Sons Pitts in an oval below the words Union.The reverse of the flask is a cannon with an American flag and a pile of cannon balls.(GX11-38).

Very pretty display !
What coloration is your 6 log Drake's ( next to your National ) ?
It doesn't look like a straight amber on my browser.
Thanks for sharing !
