Bottles That Are In My Inventory For Sale
Below are a few old bottles and antique inks similar to those I have for sale here or at shows. All are antique bottles - nothing new. Most are 100+ years old. If you seek something that is not here, please ask. Shipping is by Priority Mail I will establish costs when I know your zip code (with the rise in mailing costs, this is essential). Due to shipping difficulties/expenses, I have to limit sales on bottles to US only. Shipping is from Richmond, VA. A 7-day return policy applies if the bottle is not as described, as I am very careful about mentioning all problems. More pictures by request. If you have any questions or wish to order, please email me. I accept payment by check or money order. Contact me by email for questions about payment. Prices often get lower if I get tired of seeing the same bottles, so check the whole page from time to time. Also, I place new items at random over the whole page, not just the top.
There are now some group pictures of types too numerous to list individually. You can search the Names & Places page for embossed names on many others not pictured.
Recently I have had several people interested in a particular bottle who decided (apparently) that the cost was too high, primarily due to the shipping cost. I have tried to keep the cost of my bottles reasonable and the shipping I state is what the USPS charges (or sometimes less). Considering the PayPal fees, shipping materials and gas to the PO, what I charge is usually as low as I can go. Unless the USPS drops their fees (good luck!), this is the best I can do. In order to make it easier for you to tell what you are actually paying for a bottle, I am returning to a "Price + shipping" listing. If you ask about an item, include your zipcode & I will reply with the total price for that item. Shipping usually will be less for more than one bottle. Please keep in mind that postage on a bottle will be between $10 and $15 on average (the minimum is now more than $8.00). Compare identical bottles that sold on Ebay & add in the shipping & I think that you will find my prices reasonable or better.
If you live in the vicinity of Richmond, VA I may be able to save you some money & myself some packaging by meeting somewhere convenient for the sale. If this is feasible for you let me know what you want and I will quote you a "local delivery" price.
In case you are concerned about such things - almost all my bottles have been tumbled to get them looking close to their original condition. Just a polishing powder is my main cleaning agent.
I will be slowly putting some of my historical flasks on, thinning out the collection. Keep an eye out as these seem to go pretty quickly. I put a new item on wherever I take a sold one out, so go through the whole page to find all the new things.
I have just been through the whole page and reduced every bottle in time for Christmas. Each new price is marked with the word "NOW"...Ed

Early black glass bottle with long neck - I took the last piece of black glass from this website to the Richmond bottle show a week ago and sold it almost immediately. I think someone got a bargain. Here is your chance for a piece of early black glass. It is 9.5” tall with 4” of that being the neck. It is a medium olive color with a light iridescent sheen that I associate with being in the ground for a long time. It has some light inside stain seen only when the bottle is held to a bright light and a sheered lip with a tiny flake above a ring. There is an odd kickup on the bottom that looks like it would match half of a ping-pong ball. I don’t know my old glass well enough to give a date but it appears to be similar to some from the 1700’s to early 1800’s. It has an overall nice appearance and the long neck is interesting. NOW just $22 + shipping.
Coal miner’s brass lantern - This is an actual lantern used by a coal miner a , producing light for a coal miner a hundred or more years ago. It could probably be cleaned up and put in working order as it is 95% intact with the exception of a small cap that held a flint in place. If you are unfamiliar with this type of lantern the process was simple: 1) the bottom unscrews and small pieces of calcium carbide was placed inside 2) a small amount of water was placed in the top through the hinged cap 3) the slow drip of water into the bottom was controlled with sliding clip on top, producing acetylene gas which came out of an opening in the front reflector. 4) a small spark was produced with the flint wheel, igniting the gas and producing light. This type of lamp produced better light than candles and were used until electric lanterns became available in the 1930’s.
On the top is written “Guys Dropper” with 5 patent dates from 1912 to 1925. On the bottom is written “Manuf’d by Shanklin Mfg Co Springfield, Ill USA” Especially neat are the initials “RAR” scratched on the bottom, apparently the owner of the lamp. A rubber ring goes around the base, apparently for stability. This lamp is about 4” tall and has obviously been well used. It has a clip for a belt or miner’s helmet. A small but nice bit of American history. NOW Yours for $30 + shipping.

1892 Columbian Jubilee Flask - It is hard to get good pix of double sided flasks with little color but I'm giving it a try here. This is a pint, very light green-aqua bottle, 7.75" high. It appears clear if you don't look at the thick parts like the base. One side is embossed in script, on a diagonal, "Columbian Jubilee" The other side has a very nicely detailed sailing ship with "1482-1892" below it. Hopefully the date is obvious. There is a mold ID "D" on the flat base. I looked but cannot find it in Mckearin's book so I have no number ID for it. It hasn't sold on ebay lately. I don't have a big flask collection but I have never seen another like it. NOW I'm asking $200.00 + postage.

Ink collector’s go-withs - Here we have two cast metal van-style toy trucks made by different companies but both bearing advertising of well known ink companies. They make a great cross collectible for anyone collecting inks and toy vehicles. Both come with the original box and are unused. The first is 4” long and made by Solidos of France. It is a bright yellow and has the advertising for Waterman’s Inks, an American company. It has details like a front windshield and a steering wheel on the left. The second is slightly more than 3.5” long and was made in England by Days-Gone. It is is a fine replica of a 1939 Chevy panel van and bears the advertising for Stephen’s Inks, a well known English company that exported a lot of their products to this country. As you might expect the steering wheel is on the right. NOW I will part with either one for $28 or both for $45, SHIPPING INCLUDED. |
1924 West Virginia Car Registration - I'm going to try something - a bonus item! This will be free with any $20.00 purchase. It is a WV car registration for 1924. It is about 5"x3" and a medium tan. It is in great condition but the red printed info has faded very badly. I have worked on the pic and can read much of the info: No.- 87240, Name of car - Ford, H.P. 22.5, Weight - 1775, Fee - 9.06, Motor No. - 6047568, Date - Aug. 3, 1924. The card is addressed to - The Danser MFG & Suppy Co. Westin ????? Co. WVA. That is the best I can read it & my interpretation may be a little faulty. Order anything for $20.00 or more & I will include this free.

Eastern Shore House / Rudolph Vincenti Whiskey - This little half-pint whiskey is frequently known as a mail-order whiskey because it was commonly sent by mail from “wet” states in the north to customers in some of the “dry” states further south. It is 6” tall and just over 2.5” wide, clear with a hint if purple from the sun. Lots of strong, bold embossing: “Eastern Shore House / G. Rudolph Vincenti / 321-14 Light St. / Baltimore, MD.” A fairly common bottle around here but a very nice example to add to a collection. If you want more than one item NOW I’ll let this go for $8.00 + shipping.
Comparison of Brown & Amber Bottles When I first started collecting bottles many years I often heard of amber bottles being referred to as "brown". I have since learned that these are 2 different colors, as shown to the left. The pic has been brightened some so that the embossing could be detected. The brown one on the left has a circular slug plate reading "Summit Bottling Wks / Registered / Akron, Ohio" and a large "S B" is on the bottom. It has a pinhead size pit on the side But is otherwise perfect. It is ABM and 7.25" tall. The amber is darker than the pic and 8.5" tall. It was hand blown and is earlier than the brown..It has some internal stain & the neck is more crudely formed.. The embossing reads "E. Robinson's Sons / Scranton, PA." NOW You can have either one for $10.00 + shipping OR both for $15.00 plus shipping |
Open or tubular pontiled
Iron pontiled
GXIII-4 (OP) and GXIII - 4 (IP) These are 2 calabash type flasks with the same McKearrin number. The only real difference is that one has an open pontil and the other an iron pontil. This separates their date of making from a few years to as much as 50 years, with the open pontil being the earlier (ca. early 1800’s). They are 9” tall and held probably a quart. They are light blue-aqua in color and have an applied tapered lip. The IP has a bubble (not burst) in the lip and the OP has an elongated unburst bubble in the neck. There is a scolloped edge around the base of the neck.The embossing is what makes them interesting. One side shows a hunter firing a shotgun (with a puff of smoke) at 2 birds in the air. There are 2 dogs running towards the fowls. On both sides the men are dressed in top hat and coats. On the opposite side is a fisherman holding what appears to be a fly rod and a fish. There is a mill with a waterwheel in the background.
Both are clean and have no chips or dings that I can spot.NOW yours for $120.00 + shipping for the open pontil and $210.00 + shipping for the iron pontil OR if you want the pair $320.00 + shipping.

Trio of Hood's Sarsaparilla, all different - 3 different molds of the same product. I'm going to label them 1-3 going from left to right. #1 on the front reads "Hood's / Compound / Extract / Sarsa / Parilla". The embossing is weak, either from a worn mold or over cleaning. 2 & 3 have nicer embossing that only reads "Hoods / Sarsa / Parilla". all 3 have "Lowell Mass." on the right side and "C. I. Hood & Co." on the left. 2 & 3 have "Apothecaries" in a recessed panel on the back. All 3 have different neck lengths. All have a ring and collar lip and a are clean, but #3 has some trash in the glass from manufacture and some abrasion at the front base.. NOW any of the 3 for $12.00 + shipping or get all 3 for $32.00 + shipping. |
The group of Hutches would be a good selection for a new or older 50-state Hutch collector, as some of them are from hard-to-find locations, If you want more than one I can probably give you a break on the prices. These Hutches aren't selling like I hoped they would so if you would to make an offer on a group I will consider so send me a price that you can live with & Ill consider it.

Aramiracalous Hair Dye - This hair product was picked up simply because I couldn't pronounce the names! The full embossing reads, "L. Rauchfuss / Aramiracalous / New York"*. It is 5.5" tall and a nice medium amber. It has no problems that I can see other than some light contents stain in places. The embossing is bold and the display will be nice. NOW it will come your way for $16.00 + shipping.
*I have just received some info about Mr. Rauchfuss from an online source: Gustavis Rauchfuss was first listed as a Hairdresser at 13 Chambers, New York City in the 1850 NY City Directory. He was listed as a hairdresser/wig maker at various times. His products were Aramiraculous and Eureka Hair Invigorator. In 1884, Gustavus died, and his son Louis took over the business. Rauchfuss "Famous Aramiraculous Hair Dye" was advertised from 1897 until 1923. The bottle is said to be hard to find.

Mrs. Guilmard Eau Sublime - I am reasonably sure that this small (3.75") bottle held a perfume but whatever it held, it must have smelled really nice! It is clear, clean and free of problems. I put it on a dark background to make the embossing more legible. The embossing is bold and reads, "Mrs. H. Guilmard / Eau Sublime / New York". Add it to your collection for NOW $7.00 + shipping.
Newport Mineral / Water Co. / Newport, KY- I haven't looked up where this is in Kentucky but I have traveled enough of the state to think that it not a large city. The embossing on the front pretty much tells everything about the bottle. It is a nice medium aqua, clean but with some light contents haze, ABM and about 7.5" tall. A nice Kentucky mineral water NOW for only $10.00 + shipping.
Alexanders Sure Cure For Malaria / / Alexanders Liver & Kidney Tonic - This is a neat bottle in several ways. It has a rectangular base and the embossing is on the narrow sides. The wider sides are sunken to accommodate a paper label.
The embossing reads, "Alexanders Sure Cure For Malaria / Akron, O." on one side and Alexanders Liver & Kidney Tonic / Akron, O." on the other. Since the embossing touts 2 different products I assume a paper label determined what you were buying. There are no problems that I can see & it is really pretty. The lip was hand formed with a squared rim & there is a ring about an inch below the lip. This beauty can NOW be delivered to your door for $22.00 + shipping..

Dr. M. M. Fenners Peoples Remedies - If a remedy isn't for the people, then who can use it? This medium size (5.75" tall) medicine is embossed on 3 sides: "U. S, A, - 1872-1893 // Dr. M. M. Fenners / Peoples Remedies // Fredonia, N. Y." It is clean but with some very light inside content stain. No chips or dings or other problems. Just a nice medicine. NOW $12.00 + shipping

Dr. Kilmer's Ocean-Weed Heart Remedy - I There are lots of Kilmer's products out there but this is one of the nicer ones. It is a medium aqua, 7.25" tall and2.375" wide The pic is less than full size. The embossing is all on one recessed panel, "Dr. Kilmer's (in an arc) / Ocean-Weed / Heart Remedy / Binghamton (in a reverse arc) / N. Y. U.S.A." It has a ring and collar lip. It is very clean and the closest thing to a problem is a bit trash from manufacture embedded in the glass above the top arc. An uncommon, pretty little bottle with a neat name. NOW it will cost only $35.00 + shipping. |
|
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root Kidney Liver And Bladder Remedy - Whoever made the mold for the Heart Remedy (above) must have made the one for the 2 bottles on the left, as the style is identical. They are both 7" tall with a ring and collar lip & very clean. Both are embossed on one recessed panel, "Dr. Kilmer's (in an arc) / Swamp Root / Kidney Liver / And Bladder Remedy (or Cure) / Binghamton (in a reverse arc) / N. Y. U.S.A." Due to the 1906 FD Act the word "Cure" on the bottom one was replaced by "Remedy" on the top. NOWI'm selling them as a pair for $50.00 + shipping.

|
Allegheny, PA Sparkler Soda - A lot of sodas were made & drunk in Pennsylvania if the variety available is any indication. This was a hand-blown circa 1900 at the Douglas Chambers glassworks. It has an oval slug plate that reads, " American Specialty / Co. / Sparkler (in outline letters) / Allegheny, PA.". At the back bottom is "D.O.C.168", the Chambers mark. It is a dug bottle with a small amount of tiny pitting from the ground but no real problems. NOW delivered to you for $10.00 + shipping. |

Different Hot Drops With a Great Promise - These are almost the same size, 5.25" and 4 7/8" tall due to a difference in the neck. Both were hand-blown around the turn of the 20th century. They seem to have held the same amount of contents but have slightly different dimensions. They are embossed on 3 sides, "The Herb Medicine Co. // Lightning Hot Drops / No Relief No Pay / Springfield, O." How is that for a sure cure? Both are clean but do have the lightest of inside stain in places. A couple of neat little meds. $12.00 each plus shipping or NOW both for $18.00 + shipping. |
|
The Model Pharmacy / L. Freedman Ph. G. Mgr. - I'm not sure what THE Model Pharmacy is supposed to represent, whether it was the ideal business of its type or that the owner's name was Model. The slug plate is embossed, "The Model Pharmacy / 4th & / Wharton Sts. / L. Freedman Ph. G. Mgr." A google map search shows only one intersection of 4th and Wharton Streets in the country, and that is in Philadelphia. Since that is near where I found the bottle, I assume that is where the bottle is from. The bottle is clear, clean and 5.75" tall. Hand blown into a mold, ca. late 1800's or early 1900's. It has a small ping on the front near the base and is otherwise excellent. It will look great on your shelf! NOW $10.00 + shipping. |

Red Ravin Sauce – This bottle presents a small mystery. It obviously had a paper label but the embossing "Red Ravin" on the bottom posses the question: was this a location, product name or perhaps a manufacturer? I've looked but didn't find any other examples. It is a pretty bottle, clean and graceful but does have some case wear, esp. on the bottom, as shown Also there is an 1/8" fish eye on one side. NOW I'll send it on to you postpaid for $7.00 + shipping. |
|
Odd Morlee's Buchu Gin – The first thing you notice is the shape: the base is 2.75" square (with cut-off corners) and the height is 12". Sparkling clean with just a hint of inside contents stain. Great display. Handblown with a tapered tooled lip, late 1800's. No chips or dings. It will look great on your shelf! NOW $8.00 + shipping. |

|
Motevideo, Minn. Bottling Works - I tend to pick up bottles from distant (to me) states even if I have no clue as to their value. Case in point, a hand-blown (pre-circa 1910) soda embossed, "Motevideo / Bottling / Works / Contents 7 1/2 Oz. / Mintevideo, Minn." and with a large " S M" on the bottom. Clear and clean with some faint ground abrasions but no chips or dings. NOW I'll send it to you for $10.00 + shipping. |
|
Black Oil Dressing- I assume that this was for boots and shoes. The bottle is about 4.5" tall and1.5" square. The embossing is divided into 2 parts by a vertical line: the left side reads "The / 400 / Trade / Mark" and the right "Black Oil Dressing / Welmer Callaway / Jersey City, N.J. / U.S.A." slight contents haze but will display nicely - no chips or dings. NOW I will send it to you for $10.00 + shipping

Three Wisconsin Beers / Sodas - I'I don't get`many mid-west bottles here in VA but now I seem to have several.

Dietzler & co. / Contents 8 Fl. Oz / Hartford, Wis. // T. D.". It is 8.25" tall, clean but, again, with a hint of contents stain and some small outside pitting from being in the ground. Overall about a 8.5-9.5 on a 10-pt scale. 3) "Farmers Brg, Co. / Shawano, Wis. / Contents 8 Fl. Oz." 8.0" tall , some light surface abrasions from being in the ground and a horseshoe shaped burst bubble from manufacture.

Weston, WV Soda - Not a lot to say about this little soda other than its somewhat scarce origin. It is embossed on opposite sides of the shoulder ith large block letters, "Weston" and on one side at the the bottom, "Coca-Cola Bottling Co. / Weston, W.VA" and the other, "Minimum Contents / 6 1/2 Fluid Oz." It is very clean and the only problem about a 3/16" flake on the back bottom edge below the embossing. It is pale aqua, and ABM. Let's make a deal - NOW sent to you for $15.00 + shipping. |

John Deal soda from Baltimore - I bought this mainly for the name on it (See the page with bottle names & places). It is a clear crown top, ABM, with a slug plate that reads "John N. J. Deal / Trade Mark / Registered / Baltimore, MD" No chips or dings. Not rare but a nice, clean bottle NOW $8.00 + shipping.

|
Dr. August Koenigs / Hamburger / Tropfen - This is an unusual little bottle. By the size it would appear to be a medicine. The embossing is just what is stated in the header. It is clear, 3.75" tall (with a slight lean when upright) and 1" in diameter. The "Hamburger" is less distinct in the picture but NOT on the bottle. (I have been told by someone with knowledge of German that Tropfen refers to medicine administered by the drop, so that mystery is solved) NOW $8.00 + shipping. |

|
Feigenspan P. O. N. (Pride of Newark) Beer - I didn't know what PON stood for until a fellow collector told me. This 9.5" tall, light aqua has an applied crown top closure which dates it between 1892 and about 1915. It is clean with no problems that I can see. The embossing reads, "Feigenspan / P O N (inside a shield) / Trade Mark / Newark, N. J." in bold letters. NOW I’m asking $10.00 + shipping |
|
Ernst Tosetti Brewing Co Blob Top. - This bottle has been on my sunroom shelf for several years & it it is time to switch it out for something else. The round slug plate reads, "Ernst Tosetti / Brewing / Co. / Chicago, Ill." in strong bold letters. The base is embossed "N. B. B.G. Co." which was the maker, North Baltimore Bottle Glass Co., North Baltimore, Ohio, 1855-95. The reason it was in my window is that it is very clean and has lots of whittling and some elongated air bubbles in the blob. The top of the lip is a little rough to the touch and has a 1/4" lip flake. The display is still very nice. NOW $12 + shipping |

York, PA Hutch Soda - The clear Hutch soda has an oval slug plate that reads, "City Steam Bottling Works / Harry F. Kuhn / Hanover / York County, PA." It is a little taller than a typical Hutch at 8" and fairly clean (I am leery of forcing the stopper out for cleaning so it has a little contents haze that may soak out). It has a small star ding on the side but no other problems. I can send this to you for NOW $10.00 + shipping |

W.H. Cawley Blob From Sommerville, NJ - This blob has a lot of embossing packed into an oval slug plate. It is medium aqua and 7.5" tall. The slug plate reads, "The W.H. Cawley CO. / S.B.W. (Sommerville Bottling Works?) / Sommerville / N.J." (what looks like a flaw in "N.J." in the photo is actually a bubble in the glass behind the embossing. There is a large "C" on the base.. The bottle is clean with some high point wear and a number of small bubbles. The tiniest nip on the lip edge is the closest thing to a problem. An interesting little blob. NOW $15.00 + shipping |
