I’m not sure what the story behind this bottle is, but it’s easily one of my prettiest finds yet. That color and twisted glass are unreal. Anyone recognize it?

Florida Water, Murray & Lanman Druggists, New York. Cork still partially in tact. A quick dive on the web dates this to the mid 1800’s but I’m leaning more towards the late 19th century or early 20th century. Any thoughts?

There's an old bovril bottle. And a bottle with the top still on it (infront of the bread bin).

Any good way to clean these? Or is it a days labour?

The bottle with the lid has embossed lettering "Birmingham Syphon Co.". I can find other bottles from the company around the 1920's but non like that one.

Information Request BEACH & BALLOU BOTTLE

I have found this bottle in an old farmhouse we purchased. I have not cleaned it and am reluctant to do so. I did an A.I. Search on it and it informed me it was a rare bottle manufactured in 1861. The question I have is the flaw. It stated that the mark or imperfection was a pot melt or stone blob created in the manufacturing process. I want to make sure that is what it is before I list it for sale. The speckles on surface are overspray paint I think and come off easily.. No cracks or damage except 1 on the lip that I can feel. What is a good price to list this, is the flaw manufactured, & where is the best place to list this item?

I am looking for advice on this bottle. Is the flaw a pot melt or stone blob that occurred during the manufacturing process? There are no cracks around it. I have not cleaned it and am reluctant to do so. The speckles come off easily with my fingernails and debris on lip does also. Suggestions to clean it or leave it? Ive found that it was made in 1861 by Beach & Ballou in Hartford Connecticut. Want to sell it but want the correct information to list it and where is the best place to do so?

Old Wild Turkey 12 Year Old — 700ml Austin Nichols bottle with original presentation tin

1 Upvotes

I found this old Wild Turkey 12 Year Old in my collection.

It is a 700ml, 50.5% Austin Nichols bottle with a genuine physical split between the two front labels.

It also has the original dark-brown cylindrical presentation tin, which matches the bottle.

The bottle code reads L2452214 / 09:21.

I'm not looking to sell or trade it. I'm simply trying to learn more about this particular bottle and packaging combination.

Has anyone seen a similar example?
