A popular Western soda that everybody needs. This is a dark tobacco amber example with no casewear or checks (which Easterns are notorious for) and a touch of whittle. A strong example that would be an upgrade for most.

These unique shaped San Francisco sodas come in several different colors and top styles. This example is a bright medium blue and a rare 1870s example which exhibits the collar top with a flat upper lip. Privy layers over the years have shown this to be the oldest blown of the many Crystal variations. This example has nice bubbles of varying size along with extremely minimal case wear.

Tooled top, 1890s with triangle on base. This a top example Crystal soda from San Francisco in a solid green color with some amber swirls.

A late 1860s ale bottle from Albany New York. Charles Clapp was in business from 1864-1867. This example has beautiful seedy glass, whittle, and a nice dark puce color.

These extra large western soda bottles are seldom seen with about seven known examples. Litton's Spring was located in Healdsburg and was a popular resort after a hotel was built on the site in July of 1874. An October 1874 ad notes that the Litton Springs water was being bottled and sent to San Francisco so we can assume these bottles date to the 1874 and likely not much later due to their rarity. In as dug, uncleaned condition this bottle still has some dirt on the inside. There is a small surface crush and shovel scuff above the embossing and two small crushes on the E on the reverse, see photos.

Circa 1850s, iron pontil. A strong example of this great Eastern soda in a pleasing teal green coloration. Some wear and occasional fisheyes, but nothing abnormal for a soda this age.

This is a tough mid to late 1850s iron pontiled San Francisco soda. Note the great California abbreviation of 'CLFRNA'. Blues are tough to find and this example is loaded with whittle. There are some light scuffs and scratches, and maybe a tiny surface fish eye or two, but overall this soda is in great condition for a Monier.

Applied top 1870s. Here is a scarce Western soda that is still a mystery and in fact could actually be a beer bottle. This example is much better than most, with nice light crudity and very limited case wear. There is a 1/4" open bubble on the inside of the lip, see photos.

Applied top, 1870s. A classic Vermont mineral water bottle in a solid green color.

This is a very strong example of a golden amber San Francisco Gaslight ammonia bottle. Not only does this example have a strong strike, but it's loaded with whittle and crude bubbly glass. This is a tooled top example and the variant with an inverted L on the base.

Applied top. Embossed W. Frank & Sons. Pitt. on base. Medium aqua, no damage.

Applied top, circa 1870s. This is the variant with the large bitters and straight R. Here is a nice green IXL in pristine condition with no issues. The top has a big drip and the glass is filled with nice light crudity and even a faint amber streak or two. Beautiful Western glass!

Applied top, 1870s. Here is a crude example of the variant 2 IXL with the circle and Western curved R. Nice whittle and a great strike with a minor amount of interior stain. There is a little potstone above Dr., see photos.

Applied top, 1880s. A crude example of the popular Henley's bitters full of bubbles and black slag.

Applied top, six log Drakes, D 105 variant. Here is a Drake's bitters in a pleasing copper puce coloration. We have taken a few photos in natural light to get the most accurate depiction of the true color, see photos.

Applied top, four log Drakes, D 110 variant. A labeled example of Drakes bitters with both labels nearly 100% intact. There is also a portion of the stamp still on the side of the lip. See photos.

Applied top, smooth base with a period after Bitters. Another Greeley's in a beautiful smokey gasoline peach color. A few extremely small surface nicks, too small to photograph.

Applied top, smooth base. Dark plum puce. A great color in good shape. There is a tiny flake of the edge of the lip, and miniscule fisheye on one of the rings below the G. See photos.

Applied top, circa late 1860s to mid 1870s. Here is a green Walkers Vinegar Bitters in great shape without any of the flashes typically found in green Walkers.

Applied top, 1860s, with original neck foil. This is a fantastic example of a black glass Hostetter's with caved in panels and crude seedy glass. Certainly one of the nicer examples we've ever seen!
