Large drug store apothecary bottle #1
 This large old clear glass drug store apothecary bottle stands 11-1/4" tall, rising to 13" when stoppered. Diameters are 2" at the mouth and 4-3/8" at the shoulder and bottom. Heavy clear glass with nothing to decorate it except an occasional air bubble. The edge of the heavy 2-3/8" diameter glass stopper, however, is encircled with 15 thumbprint indentations. Sides and bottom of the stopper are frosted, as is the interior neck of the bottle. Bottom of the bottle has a 2" diameter concave center containing a semicircular mark that may be some kind of a manufacturer’s mark or may be an old chip. I honestly can’t tell which. There’s a definite chip at one edge of the concave circle. No other damage to the bottle, but significant chipping to the frosted portion of the stopper that in no way affects its snug fit in the bottle. Together with our companion bottle listed immediately below (which I thought for the longest time was identical, but isn’t quite), they make a great pair of vintage bottles for use or display.

Large drug store apothecary bottle #2
This is another large old clear glass drug store apothecary bottle that looks identical to the one listed immediately above, but is slightly different. This one stands 11-1/2" tall, rising to 13-1/4" when stoppered. Diameters are 2" at the mouth and 4-3/8" at the shoulder and bottom. Heavy clear glass with nothing to decorate it except an occasional air bubble. The edge of the heavy 2-4/8" diameter glass stopper, however, is encircled with 14 thumbprint indentations. Sides and bottom of the stopper are frosted, as is the interior neck of the bottle This stopper is slightly shorter than the one listed above. Bottom of the bottle has a 1-5/8" diameter concave center containing two tiny nicks. No other damage to either the bottle or the stopper, but the bottle contains four little indentations that appear to be manufacturer’s flaws. Together with our companion bottle listed immediately above, they make a great pair of vintage bottles for use or display. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Triangular Glenlivet bottle
 This deep amber brown Glenlivet bottle probably doesn’t qualify as vintage, but it’s definitely attractive and has an interesting triangular shape with embossed advertising on each of its three sides. It stands 8-1/4" tall with diameters of 1-1/8" at the mouth and 2-5/8" at the base. Each side features an elongated doughnut with the words “Aberlour Glenlivet Distillery” inside, as well as a diamond mark at the bottom. Perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or scratches. Trust me, Glenlivet is expensive and if, like me, you’re not a fan of it, here’s your chance to add this neat bottle to your collection without having to buy a full one and then worry about who’s going to drink the contents! What’s that you say? Oh! You’re welcome -- glad to be of service! (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

3 amber glass wine bottles
 These three old deep amber glass wine bottles make an attractive grouping. The tallest stands 13-1/4" high; bottom is 2-3/4" in diameter and marked “DIN” with a line above and below, “0.7 l”, and a logo that looks like a crossed hammer and sword. The next stands 12-1/2" high; bottom is just shy of 3" in diameter and marked “0.7 l” with a logo consisting of an F in a circle, with 87 to the left and 13:.53 below. The third is its near twin, having the same dimensions but bottom markings of “0.7 l”, a logo consisting of an S with three rays coming out the top, and the numbers 12:.13 and 103 below. All three bottles are in excellent condition with no nicks, chips, or cracks. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Mammoth green square bottle
 You say you want a bottle? How ’bout this heavy green glass monster? He stands 13-3/4" tall with a 2-1/2" diameter mouth and a 3-1/2" square base. But no way is he all brawn and no beauty. He’s actually quite attractive with his four beveled edges and many wonderful air bubbles. And he was obviously hand-made because his fourth bevel doesn’t go all the way up like the other three, stopping instead at his shoulder. So on top of all his other fine qualities, he’s also uniquely one of a kind! What more could you ask for? His unmarked bottom features a concave circle that’s 3" in diameter. No nicks, chips, or cracks, but he must have been used as the granddaddy of all vases because there’s some scratching on his interior surfaces and a blackish streak that refuses to come out with normal washing and soaking. Quite an impressive addition to your bottle collection! (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Antique bell shaped bottle
 This is a beautiful old clear glass sculptured bottle in the shape of a tall bell. It stands 8-3/4" high with diameters of 1-3/8" at the mouth and 3-1/2" at the base. I’m assuming it must have been mold blown to create its lovely shape, and I sure wish it were marked because someone devoted considerable time and craftsmanship to it. The body is 16-sided, consisting of eight tapering panels that rise from the base to right below the rolled mouth lip, ending in a scallop at the top, interspersed with eight narrower faceted panels that rise only as far as the shoulder and whose top pointed arches then become the edges of the octagonal neck. Quite a nice piece and old enough that the glass has developed a slightly grayish cast. Perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or scratches, but there is cloudiness inside that I have not been able to remove with normal washing. (Click on picture for more images.)

Enormous hand blown blue glass bottle
 Wow! What a bottle! If you like ’em huge and you like ’em blue, this one’s for you! This amazing hand blown dark blue bottle stands 12-1/2" tall with diameters of 1-1/2" at its mouth, 8" (no kidding!) at its widest point, and 4-1/2" at its unmarked base which features a concave center and rough pontil. The thick mouth rim is taller on one side than the other and tilted at the top. The neck is ribbed, with the ribs extending several inches down into the body of the bottle, creating a collar effect. Various sized bubbles are everywhere in the glass, producing an almost crackle glass appearance. Quite light weight for its size, and the glass is thin enough that one of the large bubbles popped right through to the exterior, making it feel like a chip, but it certainly isn’t. There is, however, what appears to be a long wavy hairline crack running diagonally down from one of the other bubbles that can, at places, be felt with a fingernail. It must not go all the way through because this bottle has obviously been used as a vase at some point in the past and has some interior water scaling at the bottom. Otherwise perfect condition.

Heavy triangular bottle
 This attractive heavy clear glass triangular bottle stands a shade over 10" tall and measures 4-1/2" across on each side at its widest point, tapering down to 3-1/2" on each side at the base. The side edges are mitered via 1/2" panels that curve upward and out to 3/4" before tapering to barely 1/4" at the neck. This bottle must originally have been a liquor or wine bottle because the slightly concave bottom says, “Federal law forbids sale or reuse of this bottle” around its edge. It’s also marked with what looks like “55-35” “D-1” and “6.” Perfect condition with no nicks, chips, or cracks. Makes a great vase, and there’s some interior cloudiness indicating it was used as such in the past. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.
