Do you have any info for the swirl jug with handle? I had the same one...that is until I broke it this morning
I never did know anything about it except that it was definitely old... Nice finds!!

Thanks colorpro, Nope, I dont have a clue on that piece yet. I will sure let you know if and when I do.

Nice group of bottles there for one Antique Show. Good job. The lip finish on that Clark & White Mineral Water caught my eye. Its not the typical lip you see on those. Is it complete? It looks it. How about a close up of that lip. Those were some nice finds. Were they priced reasonable? It seems when we go to an Antique Show looking for bottles, they are usually overpriced, but sometimes we get good ones. Hope you enjoy them.

You read my mind botlenut - I definitely would like to see a closer picture of the lip on the mineral water...... if it isn't filed down, it is truly unique.

here ya go.... Let me know what you think. I have never seen one of these and just thought the lip was chiped. If it is somthing else please let me know. I only paid $10 for it so no big deal. But I need to know if there is somthing wrong with it before I put it up on the block.

Oh and by the way these held "Congress Spring Water" from the congress springs in Saratoga Springs. It was only named Clarke & White from 1852-1865. So pretty easy to date this one.

Thanks for your replies

I found a pic of one on fleabay and sure enough the lip on mine is shorter. Probably ground or cut or somthing.??

Hey Jeff, it looks like yours had a chip in it and someone ground down the top so that it didnt look like it was broken. I'd still say you did pretty good though! I have yet to get a hold of a saratoga style bottle and have always wanted one.
