Beautiful Oak Orchard Acid Springs Mineral Water - I spent a lot of time trying to get pix of this bottle w/o reflections and with an accurate color, with only moderate success (it is a little more brown than the pic on the left). It is embossed on the shoulder of one half of the bottle, “Oak Orchard / Acid Springs” and on the other half, “H.W. Bostwick / Agt. No 574 / Broad.Way. New.York”. It is also embossed on the bottom in 2 concentric rings, “Glass From Hitchins Factory / Lockport.N.Y.” There is lots of whittling and the embossing is large and bold. It is 9” tall and almost 4” in diameter on the base, holding something like a quart of mineral water. There are light scratches at one place on the side  but no chips or dings. The reflection in the bottom pic make it look otherwise, but it is NOT pontiled. A really interesting and nice bottle.  $135.00

Here are a few old bottles and antique inks similar to those I have for sale at shows or on ebay. 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 zipcode (with the rise in mailing costs, this is essential). Due to shipping difficulties/expenses, I will have to limit sales on bottles to US only. I will pay shipping on total orders of $120 and up. 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.  All items can now be bought through PayPal (email me for my Paypal address). This page last updated on 4/26/2012.

Antique Ink Bottle Book - The second edition of our ink book is still available in very limited quantities.  It is the result of years of research and picture taking: "INKS - 150 Years of Bottles and Companies, 2nd Edition" by Ed and Lucy Faulkner. It is 320+ pages full of more than 1500 color bottle pictures, company histories and go-with's of all types (it is NOT a price guide).  If you have an interest in the history of ink bottles as well as examples of the majority of known types, this book is for you.

This is self-published and copies are printed only when there is a demand. More information by request.  I regret that due to increased toner cost and postage the 3 now available will be -    $90 postpaid in the US

Scarlet Fox Hunting Coat Cleaner - This is one of the neatest items that I have come across in a long time. It is a quart ceramic bottle from the Bourne & Denby Pottery like those used for master inks in the 1890's. The label says that it contained cleaning fluid for scarlet (fox) hunting coats and was made by E. Tautz & Sons of 485 Oxford Street in London. The front of the label gives instructions for the use of the product while both sides give testimonials to its efficiency. They are dated 1889 and 1910, so the company made this cleaner for at least

   The Boston flask on the right is a pint coffin shaped flask that is full of embossing, which reads, “Established / 1851 / W. H. Jones and Co. / Boston” with a trademark in the middle consisting of a large shield bearing the words Trade Mark and a bear in the middle. Below is a banner with the Latin inscription, “Optima Satis Bona Est” which probably means something like “You’ll like this”. It also is very clean with some light stain in the neck area (wavy lines of an unknown source) and a couple of bits of embedded material from manufacturing. Several elongated bubbles.  $30.00

2 Different Bottles From the Clyde Glass Works - The first is a real beauty. The color is somewhere between yellow and yellow amber, more towards the yellow side. It has a round slug plate which reads, Excelsior / Bottling works / Schenectady, N.Y” with”This Bottle Not To Be Sold” on the back and "Clyde Glass Works / Clyde / N.Y." on the bottom”. It has a Baltimore loop closure. It has a small amount of pitting but a great display. This has been in my sun room window for years and it is time to replace it with something different. $75.00

Simplex Patented Automatic Inkwell - During the 19th century, hundreds of inkwells were patented, this being one of them. It was patented by Jochum & Nelles Co., New York and called Simplex Automatic Inkwell. It has a pen rest on the top. The lines in the picture are not cracks, but cooling lines in the glass done in manufacture. The top of the inkwell is made with a tray, all one piece. The tray part has "Pat. Apld. For" on it. it also has what appears to be a polished pontil on the base. Very crisp and sparkling clean. An interesting inkwell. $75.00

The 2nd Clyde bottle is a clear blob top and has an unusual name on the slug plate, which reads, "Geo. Zett / Syracuse, N.Y.". You don't get too many "Z" names on bottles. There is a complete wire stopper and the plug even has most of the original rubber all the way around - it is still functional. It is very clean and has no damage that I can see, just a few bubbles in the glass. $20.00

Inkwell Made Like a Curling Stone - This is an oddball little inkwell that appears to have been made like a tiny curling stone. It is of a stone-like material, probably ceramic, with a brass top and handle. It is 2.5” tall and about 2” at the base. A neat gift, especially if someone is into the sport of curling.  $35.00

Banner Brewing Co.,  Saginaw, MI - A very attractive beer in a medium honey amber. It is 9.5” tall & has an applied crown top lip, ca. 1895-1910. The front is embossed, Banner / Brewing Co. / Saginaw, Mich.” and the back has a neat logo including a shield with BBC overlapping on it & above is a beer barrel with a “B” embossed. Some very minor pitting but otherwise a really pretty bottle.  $12.00

Pair of Maine Meds(?) - 2 very interesting bottles from the same company in Maine. The top one is perhaps the most interesting. According to someone who took the trouble to email me, chain lightning was a New England name for bootleg whiskey. Someone else gave evidence that it was used to remove spots from clothes. Anyway, it is embossed, "Chain Lightning Eraser / Nathan Wood & Son / Portland, ME". It is 6" tall and 2.25" wide. It was hand blown into a mold with a tooled lip, probably 1880 - 1900. It is perfectly clean and clear, with only flaw a very small flake on a back bottom

Stafford’s Quart Office Ink w/Great Label - The bottle isn’t  particularly rare but with the label it is scarce indeed. The medium cobalt bottle is embossed on the back, “S. S. Stafford’s Ink / Made in the U.S.A.” The label is about 95% intact with some edge flaking and one fine tear about 2” long. There is a 1/8” burst bubble on the the side of the neck, perhaps from manufacturing. The label is great, with a 5-point start and an eagle. The label reads, “Stafford’s Blue Black Office Ink / A Combined Writing and Copying Ink” with an endorsement by S.S. Stafford himself. This is an attractive bottle with a pour spout and a very nice label.  Reduced to $65.00

DC Commercial Hotel Co. Flask - This is a half pint whiskey from Washington, DC. It is  sparkling clean, no flaws, a slightly bent neck and several nice bubbles. It is embossed, “The Commercial Hotel Co. / Cor. Penna. Ave. & 7th St. N.W. / Washington, D.C.” I love it when they give specific locations! It is hand blown into a mold & probably from the late 1800’s. The bottle is 6.25” tall and has rounded corners as well as rather thick ring neck.  $28.00 

Carter’s Cathederal Inks, set of 3 - There were 4 bottles in the “cathederal” ink sets made by the Carter’s Ink Company around 1930. All were cobalt blue with a lot of variation in the shading of the color from bottle to bottle. The quart, pint and half pint are very close to the same color in this group, with the “cloverleaf” (1/4 pint) being several shades lighter. The cloverleaf has been sold.  The 3 largest are perfect as best as I can tell. 

Very Early Whitall-Tatum Lab Bottle - I picked up this bottle because I was collecting early glassworks at the time and this was very crude. I’m guessing that it was a lab bottle by the shape but I am not positive. The only ID on it is the small round paper label that reads “Whitall-Tatum Manufacturers” It is 7.5” tall, very heavy, whittled with bubbles, and sparkling clean. The band in the picture is a protective plastic. How many of these paper labels could have survived? A nice addition to a glassworks collection or even a display of early lab equipment.   Now only $45.00

Acme Soda Water Hutch - An attractive Hutch soda water from Pittsburgh, PA. It is a dug bottle but still very attractive. The front is embossed, “The Acme / Soda Water / Co. / Pittsburgh / Registered”. The back and bottom have large intertwined “A”, “S”, “W”, “Co”. All embossing is strong & bold. It is blue-aqua in color and 7” tall, dating to the last 2-3 decades of the 19th century. It has a number of fine abrasions on the back shoulder and a few pinhead size pits. Not perfect but a very attractive Hutch. I offer this, shipping included, for $22.00.

For a good many years no one was sure what the “A & F” on numerous bottles stood for, as it was usually the only embossing on a variety of types of ink bottles. The larger bottle on the right, above, also has a patent date of Oct. 1st, 1872 and my wife was able to research the patent and find that the patent belonged to the Adams & Fay Co. of Cleveland, OH. The small bottle is 2.25” tall and has a hand tooled lip. The larger is 3.5” tall and has a sheared, polished lip. Both are clear and clean with some light internal haze. No chips or cracks. A couple of nice bottles with one that helped solve a bit of an ink mystery.  $45.00

3 Oklahoma applied crown tops - Left to right: Union BW / Hominy, Okla. - Sold; Muskogee Bottling Works / Moskogee, I.T. (Indian Territory) -some neck cloudiness & cloudy ding on lip (see inset above bottle) - $135.00; Kingfisher Bottling Works / F.C. Brown Prop. / Kingfisher, O.T. (Oklahoma Territory) - some cloudiness high in the neck - $155.00. All were hand blown into a mold and the crown top applied, pre-ABM. All 3 have a round slug plate with the information noted above. Note that the shipping is free on these 2 remaining bottles.

3 Strap Flasks For One Price  - Here are 3 nice 1/2 pint strap-sided flasks that I bought when I was collecting bottles with glassworks marks. None are mint, having some minor inside stain or light scratches. The only embossing is a GW mark on the bottom: Left - Light yellow amber, “A.G.W.L.” (Arsenal GW, Lawrenceville, PA?), Middle - Light blue aqua, “C.G.W.” (Campbell GW, W. Berkley, CA?) written so it can be read only by looking down through the neck of the bottle, and Right - Shades of deep amber, “S.S.P.” (S.S. Pierce GW, Boston?). The SSP embossing is usually found on green strap flasks.    All 3 for $35

Brewer Springs Odd Open Pontil - I wish I knew what to call this unusual little bottle. It is light aqua, 5.5" tall and slightly less than 2" in diameter at the base. It has a nice, clean open pontil mark and a tapered lip. There is lots of whittling and a long bubble extending the length of the neck. It is embossed around the

Hanbury Smith Mineral Waters  - This NY manufacturer of mineral waters had an amazing array of colored bottles as you can see on the right. The 1/2 pint & pint on the left are embossed “Hanbury Smith / Mineral Water” written horizontally while the 2 pints on the right have “Vichy Water / Hanbury Smith / N.Y.” embossed sideways. The colors, L-R, are green, olive green, apple green and teal blue. A really pretty group of New York mineral waters.

L-R: $130.00, $230.00, Sold, $90.00

  Prices (L-R): $65.00, $100.00, $65.00, $110.00 or all four for $310.00 with free shipping.

shoulder, "Brewers Spring Fd" with both S's backwards.  The Fd is actually composed of an F followed by a small capital D which is underlined. I'm guessing that this is an unusual abbrev- iation for the state of Florida and not Fire Dept. The closest thing to a problem is some very light internal stain.  This dates to the 1820-1850 period. Very clean and attractive. $40.00

corner. The bottom bottle is embossed on the front panel, "Established 1843 / Nathan Wood & Son / Portland, ME". 6" tall, 3" wide. It has a sort of concave fluted panel that curves at the shoulder and around the front and back panels to the base. Hand blown into a mold with a tooled lip. It is perfectly clean and free of any flaws so far as I can see. Both of these neat bottles for one money. $35.00 

Quart Peerless Master Ink - I have thought about the trademark on the label of this bottle but haven’t determined who the company was. It has about 75% of the label indicating that it was without peer as a school ink but that is all that I know. Even if you took the label off you would have a very nice 2-piece mold, applied lip with tooled spout master ink in a great green color.  Was $45.00 Reduced to $30.00

Teal Caws Master Ink - This a nicely formed master ink in a medium teal color. Circa late 1800’s.  It is 7.75” tall with an applied lip and inside pour spout formed in the lip. It is embossed, “CAW’S / Black Fluid / INK” on the front. There is some light scratching on the inside at the base of the neck like there was difficulty getting the cork out at some point, but no chips or dings. Clean and a very attractive bottle.  $65.00

21 years. The label has some edging missing but all writing is legible and the bottle is perfect. Something for those seeking an unusual gift or anyone into fox hunting memorabilia. Now reduced to $95.00.

Sherwood Rye Whiskey - Pint size, rectangular with rounded corners, this paper label is quite interesting. The label read, in part, “Sherwood / Pure Rye / Distilled By / Sherwood Distilling Co. / Cockeysville, Md. / Bottled by Straus, Gunst & Co. / Richmond, Va.” It is hand blown and there is a reference to the Pure Food & Drug Act of 1906, so this dates the bottle between 1906 and when the bottle maker switched to machines, usually 1910-1920.  Straus, Gunst was a well known bottler & distributor of spirits, and it appears that they were bottling this product for the distiller. The bottle is very clean with no problems, about 7.25” tall. The label is missing maybe 5% as you can see in the picture. An interesting little MD/VA whiskey.   $35.00

Thomas Eclectric Oil - An interesting little (5 1/4”) medicine. Someone tried to highlight the embossing but didn’t do the best job (“Eclectric had the most problem). The embossing all fine, however & the paint will wash off. The embossing reads, “Thomas Eclectric Oil” (front), “Internal & External” (right side), and “Foster, Milburn & Co.” (left side). Clean with no condition problems.  $10.00

End-of-the-Day Glass Whimsey Pen Holder- It appears that someone gathered up left over glass at the end of shift at the glass house and made this attractive pen/pencil holder. The body is solid clear glass with all of these colored globs melted into the surface and drawn up to make the vertical column. Almost 3.5” in diameter and 2.75” tall. A melange of bright colors make this a very attractive piece for anyone’s desk, even if used just as a paperweight.  $35.00

Pair of Arizona sodas - Here are 2 different western sodas, both from Phoenix, AZ. Both are very clean with circular embossing inside a large rectangle with rounded corners. Both are ABM with an odd tiny embossing  on the rounded edge where the side changes to the base, reading, "I.P.G.Co.  67". I assume that this is the manufacturer and perhaps a mold number (these look too early for the 67 to be a date). The embossing on the left-hand bottle reads, "PHOENIX BOTTLING / WORKS / PHOENIX / ARIZONA". The one on the right reads, "ARIZONA / BOTTLING WORKS / PHOENIX, ARIZONA" INSIDE THE CIRCLE, "THIS BOTTLE MUST BE RETURNED" below the circle, and a large "A" on the bottom. I see no chips or dings and just the lightest of use wear. Both show some crudeness from manufacture and are in great condition.

Beautiful Oil City, PA Beer - This is a nice bit of Pennsylvania and oil industry history. Oil City was a hub of oil drilling and transport starting in the 1860's, and the first oil drilling occurred in this area. This bottle dates to the 1890's - 1910 as it has an applied crown top (the lip is hand tooled). It has an attractive red to honey amber color, varying in parts of the bottle. It has a distinctive script embossing, "Saltzmann Bros. / Brewers / Oil City, Pa." written on a slant across the front. Someone has highlighted the embossing with white paint but that is easily removed if you don't like it.  A small C. & Co. on the back probably indicates the Cunninghams (Pittsburgh) glassworks produced the bottle. It has no problems beyond some light inside haze, no chips or dings. It is a very attractive piece of glass & great for PA or beer colectors as well as anyone interested in the history.  $12.00

2 Ceramic Master Inks - The light colored bottle in the middle is a scarce one that is debossed, "Wm ALLEN & Co N.Y. / LEDGER INKS". No potter's mark. There is a small flake off the underside of the pour spout, about 3/16" diameter (see closeup). No other damage. - $40.00.

The one on the right is the hardest to find of the group. It is a light tan and debossed, "SPENCERIAN". It is a medium tan and has no damage. A very difficult master to find. - $85.00.          Now buy both for only $100.00.

Old Continental Baltimore Rye Strap Flask - I have a thing for the oddball and humorous, whether it was originally intended or not. This  fits that situation. The bottle is a pint aqua “Warranted Flask” made by the BBGCo. The label makes it interesting. It reads, “Old Continental / Bottled For Family Use / Baltimore Rye” with a Pure Rye Whiskey City of Balt. trademark over “Cahn, Bely & Co.”.  I have no idea how/why you bottle whiskey for “family use” but it is prominent on the label (“The Family That Drinks Together stays Together”?). The label is missing maybe 10%  and the bottle has no problems. A fun bottle for  $25.00

$15.00 each or both for $25.00

2 DC Flasks W/Same Address & Different Names - These clear 1/2 pint strap flasks are identical except for a collar below the round lip on one and the company/bottler on the top line of the slug plate. The slug plate reads “ [F.P. Burke] [F. Loftus] / Gibson / XXXX / 1324 D. St. N.W. / Washington, D.C.” There is some light pitting or scratches on each, mostly on the back, but they both will still display well. I’m asking $40.00 each or both for $75.00. I will offer free shipping if you take both.

Carter’s Cone w/Both labels - It is fairly hard to find cones with both front and back labels, and to find one with the name embossed on a ring below the neck is even harder. The bottle appears perfect, the front label has some fading, and the back label is about 85% intact. A nice example with 4 things going for it - the bottle, shoulder embossing and both labels.  Was $65.00 but now reduced to $50.00.

These 2 are identical except for size (5.5” and 7” tall, 4 oz. and 8 oz. capacity). Each is embossed, “Registered / (O inside a D) / Trade Mark / Diamond & Onyx / Philadelphia / U.S.A.” Hand blown with a tooled ring lip. From the late 1800’s,  there is some possibility that they held blacking instead of ink, as this and many companies made both. Both were probably dug, as there is some light inside stain and fine abrasions. These will still display quite well and the shape is unique, I believe.  $55.00 for the pair

3 Baltimore Gump’s Whiskies - These are selling as a group. All 3 are clear, 1/2 pint size, probably late 1800’s. There is some light contents stain in places and a tiny lip flake on the rightmost, but nothing that would appreciably affect the display. They are embossed, (R-L): “G. Gump & Sons / Gordon Baltimore Rye / Baltimore, M.D.  U.S.A.”, “Gordon Whiskey / G. Gump & Sons / Baltimore, M.D.U.S.A.” and

From around 1880 to 1920 a number of lovely colored glass inkwells were made, often for the desk of a lady. This one is a deep apple green with a silver lid stamped “Sterling” on it (see inset). It is a little less than 2.25” square at the base. It has no problems beyond a couple of pinhead flakes on the base edge and a light scratch on the base from use, none of which can be seen in a normal display. The silver lid is slightly tarnished in a couple of places, but I will leave any polishing to the new owner. This will stand out in any collection!  $175.00

Pair of Odd Diamond & Onyx Master Inks

Scarce Fetter Quart Master Ink - George Fetter owned a Louisville, KY company which sold stationary supplies as well as other items necessary to

school children, such as marbles, crayons and tops. This light aqua master ink is 9.5” tall and held a quart of ink. It is very clean but does have a small flake off the 2nd “I” in Louisville. Hand blown and with bold embossing, it will display well. I am including free of charge a 1908 letter promoting a sale of Fetter products (letterhead above). $75.00

“G. P. R.” (Gump’s Pure Rye). All 3 different for $20.00

Early Open Pontiled Muscilage or ink with an Unusual Shape

2 Pennsylvania Beers - These 2 beers  I chose to show because of their nice colors. Unfortunately my camera is not up to capturing the colors very accurately. The one on the left is about 8” tall and has a color not too different from the picture, kind of a smokey medium amber. It has a slug plate that reads, “F. K. (in large letters) / Ashland, PA”. It has a hand made crown top with a 3/16” lip flake on the side and a 1/4” base flake below it. Neither is visible from the front. The odd color stands out.  $10.00

The one on the right is a very nice deep amber, NOT the wine color in the photo. It is 7.25” tall, crown top closure, and is of very thick glass. The embossing reads, “The / Prospect  / Brewing Co. / Phila. / Registered”. It has some rough abrasions on the left shoulder and fine scratches that indicate it was a dug bottle. An attractive beer with a nice shape. $10.00

I have so many PA beers & sodas that I have listed them at the bottom of this page with basic info but w/o pictures. Check the list if you have an interest in this area.

Pennsylvania Bottles that I Have For Sale

Most with “bottling Works” in the name are sodas. Anything not a beer or soda is marked. Due to the cost of gas and shipping materials, I cannot ship any order less than $10.00. If you want a cheaper bottle try to find another to bring the total over the minimum or perhaps we can meet at a show. The listing is alphabetical by location.

2 A& F Inks, One of Which Determined That These Were by the Adams & Fay Co.

This is an unusual glue or ink with an odd shape that dates to the pre-Civil War era.  It has 10 sides that end in a scalloped edge about 2/3 of the way down the side. It is 3.25” tall, is medium aqua in color and an inside rolled lip. What appears at first to be light inside contents stain seems to be hundreds of fine bubbles, from manufacture.  $45.00

Nippon Salt(?) Dishes - A set of Nippon dishes that I assume are for holding salt or relish at the table. There is one large (6.25” x 3.5”) dish and 5 smaller (2.5” x 1.75” ) individual servers. The bottom of the large dish has “Hand Painted / Nippon” around 2 leaves surrounding an “M”. The small dishes have the same stamp but with varying degrees of clarity. All have gold trim, pink roses and gold flowers painted on them.  Beautiful set.  $50.00

X

an 1/8” flea bite off the lip but no other problems. $14.00  Right: This is 7” tall, light blue-aqua and also in good condition. It has a slug plate that reads, “Fred Roshirt / Schodac Centre, N.Y. / Rensselaer Co. / New York”. Also a doubled “R’ on the bottom. A couple small abrasions on the back but no other problems. $18.00

3 nice bottles & I’ll give a discount if you want them all.

Baltimore Wholesale Grocery Co.  - There are a great many baking powder bottles around, but they all seem to be plain with just a name on the shoulder. This bottle is decorative and has lots of eye appeal.  It is embossed, “Baltimore Wholesale / Grocery Company” around a large “AG” with intertwined letters. It is blue aqua, 2.5” dia. x 4.5” tall. Since it is the same size & shape as known baking powder bottles, I assume that this held the same contents. It is sparkling clean with no problems, a very attractive little bottle.  $30.00

McCormick Co. Triangular Flavoring, Baltimore- An interesting little flavoring bottle with 3 sides and rounded edges. It is clear with a pinkish hint to the glass. It is 3.75” tall with 7/8” wide sides. Hand tooled ring lip and very clean with no problems. An odd little bottle for  $10.00

Straus, Gunst Script Letter Flask- There are tons of the Straus, Gunst flasks with block lettering but this is the only one that I have run across with script embossing. This is similar to the common version but the embossing in the rectangular slug plate is in a fancy script writing. It reads, "Strauss Gunst & Co. / Richmond, Va." This is extremely clean and in great condition. No chips, dings or damage, just a hint of wear in a couple of places. Numerous small bubbles throughout.  A really nice little flask in a scarce variety.  $32.00

Group of 3 New York Hutches - Left: I believe that this probably had a Hutchison closure but I am not positive. It is 6.25” tall, a fairly dark blue-aqua and very clean with no problems. It has strong embossing that reads, “R. Weller / 176 / Spring St. / Saratoga”  and “McC” (McCully glassworks) on the back. $20.00   Middle: This is clear,  6.25” tall and quite clean. It has a slug plate which reads, “Amos Gordon, / Tannersville / N.Y.” and below that “Registered / This Bottle Never Sold”. It has about

S.O. Dunbar Open Pontiled Master Ink - Dunbar used this shape bottle for ink as well as some of his medicines and even bitters, so there is no way to be positive what this particular bottle held. It could be used as an example for any of these types. Three lines of embossing, “S.O. Dunbar / Tauton / Mass.”It is 5.75” tall, 2.5” in diameter, and held about a half pint.  It is clean with no problems beyond slight wear on a shoulder from use. A very attractive bottle dating from about 1849-1860. $90 postpaid
