The umembossed ammonia

[cacarpetbagger]

I have always liked these bottles, they are great window bottles and don't cost as much as the USA Hospital or SF gaslight bottles. I bought my first one at the Las Vegas show about 1982 or so. It is the one on the right and is dead mint and hammered with whittle. I paid a whopping $8 dollars for it. I am still on the lookout for these guy and add one to my collection when I can. For you viewing pleasure.

Couple of nice square collared tops. The amber one was found at the presidio in SF.

The cobalt one in this pic has a piece of tape on the base that says, " dad's peppermint from the tavern ". That was a pick up from the Baltimore show a few years ago. The green one is hammered with whittle and full of bubbles, the pic does not do it justice.

Run of doughnut tops. Sill looking for a blue one.

No they are not pontiled. I would date these bottles from about 1875 to 1885, give or take a few years. Still old enough to give some great character to the bottles.
