(R-93) 9 ½”. Applied top, smooth base. This was a particularly tough bottle to photograph, there are two variants of the Rosenbaum’s the other being sans-serif and often with a different top. We first had this described as an apricot puce, and we wouldn’t disagree. The video will never show the correct color because anything […]
(M-113) Applied top, pontil. 5 ½”. This is an early bitters and along with the pontil, the base itself is very crude with a lot going on. Certainly one of the more primitive bottles we’ve sold, it’s got loads of overall whittle and just plain early glass-making imperfections. The top is slightly askew and the […]
With embossed teakettle and TRADE MARK. Applied top. Thomas 136. 1871-87. A very popular western fifth, the Tea Kettle bottles are seen in loads of different shades of amber and even a few green ones out there. This one has a huge top with some light to medium whittle and a great strike. There’s a […]
Smooth base. 11 ¼”. Add a little pizazz to your shelf with this elaborately designed pickle. This one is about perfect with some nice bubbles and about perfect condition. Grades a 9.6. [add_to_cart item=”049″ ]
(M-4). 9 ¼”. 1884-87. Applied top, smooth base. These western bitters are an odd shape and though few have much crudity to them they are a great addition to any western bitters collection. This example is medium amber and has the applied top. They are one of the few sarsaparilla and bitters in one bottle […]
Rolled lip, pontil. These little ant poisons are quite old and many are pontiled. This one is pretty special with an odd apricot amber base and a lot of variations of color running through it. Streaks of red and green can be seen, hopefully in the still pictures. Could use a cleaning if one wanted […]
Applied lip, graphite pontil. 7 7/8”. Here’s a fairly well known soda water from South Carolina. These come in blue in addition to this green variation. Professionally cleaned, it has all the original graphite and displays beautifully with loads of whittle and crudity. There are a few decent scratches but overall it’s a nice example […]
(R-222) 12 ¼”. Rolled lip. As far as the “Indian Queen,” bottles go; collectors usually aren’t too concerned with variant as there are a few, but rather condition and color. We’d like to think this has both. The color, a yellow, is actually better than the pictures. One might even see a little touch of […]
(H-93) 9 7/8”. Tooled mouth. This is one of the two variants of the H.P. Herb Bitters, a terrific condition example. These are tooled top bottles that are usually pretty tidy in appearance. Then again they have so much going on they really don’t need a lot of crudity. We can’t imagine a better condition […]
(M-118) Applied top, smooth base. 1879 only. Ironically this was the first bottle with the name Roth on it. Up until then Roth excluded the use of his now well-known name. Even more ironic is that it was a bitters as Roth was primarily known for his numerous brands of whiskey. To our knowledge, there […]
