I got some great stuff there. My favorite has got to be the orangey light amber blob you see at the far right.
I'll do posts on almost each bottle.

Although not the rarest, it is from my favorite bottling co. to collect: "MUSKEGON BR'G CO. / PURE AND WITHOUT / REGISTERED / DRUGS OR POISONS / MUSKEGON / MICH." on front, which I highlighted for better visibility, and on back, too, I highlighted, "THIS BOTTLE / NOT TO / BE SOLD" The base says, "S. B. G. Co. / 3"The porcelain stopper reads a similar way as the front. It's still functional. and the bottle is nearly mint! That it's made by Streator puts it at 1905 or before.

"A. LUDERS & CO. / MUSKEGON / MICH"-- labeled as a rare Hutch on Hutchbook-- see photo of it here-- but I disagree.
It's made by Illinois Glass Company circa late 1870s-1880s and is one I never thought I'd own. The bottle has what I believe you call a "pot stone" in it and a small amber swirl.

"S. C. ChUMARD. / MUSKEGON, / MICH." with the John Matthew's Gravitating Stopper info. on the base of this awesome Gravitating Stopper bottle I got, lots of bubbles, too!!! Chumard began operations in 1867, but by the 1880s, Chumard switched mainly to the more common Cider bottles we know here, so this should be 1870s as my best guess.

"L.W.H." bottle-- help on it? It's hand-tooled and 8-faced.

Some Bromos-- two non-highlighted ones are still soaking. The big one has a huge bubble in it. I got three all together.

The man who sold me this one claimed it was a "Baby killer:" "CURTIS & PERKINS / PROPRIETORS / MRS. WINSLOW'S / SOOTHING SYRUP" hand-tooled bottle. No. "37" on base. Patina all over exterior.

I got a nice "APPLETON' JOURNAL" book from 1870. For "Literature, SCIENCE, AND ART" I love antique books.

I got a "No. 135" insulator with amber swirl and bubbles and what looks like snow inside of it from mixed-in materials.
