    Henry M. Goble, New York Glasshouse

    In researching an old strap side hotel flask I noticed a faint name on the lid. Researching that name I found this. The Henry M Goble site was at 73 Murray Street so it moved once HM took over. The hotel and the two glass houses were all within a few blocks of each other. I’m guessing this...

    This beautiful enameled decanter has script that I’ve been unable to decipher! I’ve tried everything I can think of. Any guesses? Thanks.

    Is this a Miniature backbar bottle?

    This little bottle has 3 colors of enamel painting reading “TWO DRINKS”. It’s 4 1/2” tall with a max diameter of about 2 1/2”. My question is this: would this be called a miniature backbar bottle?

    C.1870 Utah drugstore with a snake on pestle

    Showing you all my newest, and oldest embossed Utah bottle. About 5” tall with a Square body. I love the snake wrapped around the Rod of Ascepius! Here’s a photo of them I found from the historical society (the UDSH) from 1860 in front of their crude business. This one is c. 1870 I.M.opinion.

    Rare Utah can added to my collection!

    I got lucky and got this, what I think, is the earliest Utah oil can yesterday. From either 1908 when the company was founded or 1909 when it was sold to UTOCO. This may be the only known example! I had goose bumps for an hour!

    What’s this type of historical flask called?

    For the life of me I can’t remember what style of flask this is called. Note how the shoulder joins the body. Can anyone refresh my memory?! Thanks as always.

    Who still has their first dug bottle!

    I ran into this on my wife’s shelf of perfume bottles today and thought “damn, that’s the first bottle I pulled out of the ground over 30 years ago!” Nothing special about an E.D. Pinaud, Paris perfume bottle but I had to keep it! I can’t be the only one to do so, so let’s see your first dug...

    Pocatello, Idaho. Fish Drug and Bottling Co.

    Here’s a southern Idaho bottle I’ve seen but never owned until now. Tons of embossing. Not extremely old - 1916 embossed but cool imo anyhow.

    Possible Rheinstrom Bros early ball & claw bitters or creme de menthe bottle?

    Hello again everyone. I recently purchased this bottle and lots of research has came up with Notta! It looks like a Rheinstrom Bros Ball and Claw Crème De Menthe made in the 1890’s by the Hemingray Glass Co. However, every example I can find is a colored glass while mine is clear. There's also a...

    Mold defect, BB gun damage?

    So this bottle has lost its spot on my shelf and I was getting ready to sell it when I realized I kept it because of the odd looking shoulder defect. That recessed circular ring is roughly the size of a dime and about 1/32” deep on the upper side and tapering to being flush on the lower side. In...

    Are JH Purdy lamps considered a bottle?

    Hi all! I’m just looking for opinions as to whether or not you all consider JH Purdy oil lamps a bottle or not? I’ve always considered them as one as they are close in resemblance to a target ball. I think they’re beautiful 3-piece mold bottles with a bonus stand, arm, and wick! Do any of you...

    Western Spice Mills mustard barrel

    Here’s another mustard I recently acquired. A clear Western Spice Mills. I like it because it’s the only bottle I’ve seen or owned that has such a crude lip. It’s referred to as a cracked-off or burst-off lip finish with just a tad of grinding done so you don’t cut your fingertips off! It’s from...

    US Navy Mustard

    I just acquired this bottle. It’s light aqua standing about 5 1/4” tall. Octagon shaped. It has a hinged key mold base. I think it has an inner rolled lip also. I’ve read other comments on this bottle from posts up to 15 years old on here and I just have one question, is it real? My research...

    Mythical animal Pontil flask?

    I recently received this pint flask. It’s nicely made with diagonal swirls and an open Pontil on the base. One side has a cluster if grapes. The other side has what appears to be a family crest. A crown on top of a shield and inside the shield this beast that is not a horse. I’m guessing a...

    To clean or not to clean?

    Sometimes a bottles staining is so bad it actually is pretty in many collectors minds. This 6 panel cathedral pickle is like that. I’ve debated having it tumbled for years but it remains as is. Thoughts?

    Wicker flask with screw threads

    Hello fellow collectors! I have this little pocket flask I’ll be selling once I can date it, and I’m hoping ya all may offer some advice. It’s 4 3/4” tall x 3 1/2” wide. Clear glass with a seam that stops right at the top of the threads. The top has been ground. I keep thinking one date range...

    GRANGER SARSAPARILLA

    I also found this bottle yesterday and like the STEELE’s Compound bottle, I can’t find anything on this one either. Two in one day is odd! It is label only, full, and with box. My guess is -1880 again. Any info on rarity, value, age, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks as always!

    Info on STEELE’s COMPOUND, EXTRACT OF KOLA CELERY AND RED CLOVE please.

    I picked this up yesterday and can’t find anything, anywhere, on this label only bottle. Generally, that’s a good thing but being label only-is it? Are labels making a comeback? Age seems 1880, ish. Any info (rarity, value, etc) is appreciated as always!

    P. KEARNS, Shamokin PA squat found and need a bit of help

    I went to pick up some small items from an auction house today and they had a wicker covered squat bottle for sale. The wicker was in horrid shape so I removed it once I got home. It’s a nice blue/aqua squat or pony (beer I presume) blob top bottle embossed with: P. KEARNS // PA // SHAMOKIN all...
