1850s, open pontil. Another E. Roome snuff in a similar color to the other olive example, but a click darker. A very shallow scuff on the front panel near the base, see photos.

1850s, open pontil. This example is a nice green coloration with some light whittle. A minor superficial scuff on the shoulder, see photos.

Circa 1905. Fred Martin & Bill Koon operated the California Saloon in Fairbanks, Alaska. This is a very rare mini with only about 4 known examples, with a few of those being damaged. Also, this is the only mini known from the state of Alaska. This one is in great condition with no issues.

Circa 1840s-50s, 6 3/4" open pontil, rolled lip. Here is a stunning early utility in a pure purple puce. This bottle is just loaded with seed bubbles and heavy whittle. There has been some speculation on the provenance of this bottle with no general consensus, please make your own determination.

Circa 1840s-1860s, open pontil, 3 1/4". A beautiful utility in puce with light swirls and a base that is aqua glass. A very striking piece that will stand out on anyone's shelf.

Late 1700s, open pontil, 11.5". A large and crude early gin.

Late 1700s, open pontil, 10.5". Another early gin, slightly smaller than the previous one and a little more emerald green.

Iron pontil, 11.5". A large emerald green utility that is just loaded with whittle. This bottle will light up any display, especially in a window with natural light. Nice clean glass and no issues.

Circa 1910. A scarce Western decanter put out by the famous San Francisco liquor merchant, A.P. Hotaling.

1860s-70s. A nice ribbed Western pepper sauce with clean Western glass and no issues.

1850s, iron pontiled, pint. This is a rare black glass cylinder believed to be an unembossed variant of the rare Barry & Patten San Francisco whiskey bottle. Beautiful whittled and bubbly glass.

1850s. A nice medium green graphite pontiled L&V from Stockton, CA. Little to no casewear and possibly uncleaned. There is one small open bubble near the L and one scratch on the edge of the front base, but overall, a solid example of this pontiled soda. See photos.

1870s. With an Eagle on the reverse. This example is a strong fire aqua and generally problem free with some whittle and light amber striations.

A solid example of a popular Western soda in a medium aqua and full of seed bubbles. This is the variant without the deer on the reverse and dates from the late 1860s into the early 1870s. Small open bubble on base, see photos.

1870s. A classic Sacramento soda. This example is just loaded with whittle, a few larger bubbles, and even an amber streak or two. Unfortunately, there is a 3/8" crack/bruise on the edge of the base, but the good news is that you can't really see the damage when the bottle is displayed. See photos.

A very early iron pontiled Gold Rush soda from Sacramento dating to 1852 with two large Xs on the reverse. This is a solid example of a pontiled soda with occasional small fisheyes, or flea bites typical of pontiled sodas. Overall, much better than your average Henry Winkle.

Iron pontiled and from San Francisco. It's difficult finding pontiled sodas that have not been professionally cleaned. This is one of them and it still retains a touch of interior dirt that the original digger left inside. No casewear, just a tiny chip off the edge of the base, a pinhead flake off the edge of the lip, and a 1/16" bruise on the top of the lip. See photos.

1870s. Here is an aqua Hollister soda from Hawaii. There is a nice amber streak in the neck and a good sized drip on the top. These sodas were blown in San Francisco for this famous Honolulu company (note the notorious Western curved R). This example has some small flea bites on the top, drip, and the surface of the bottle. Not perfect, but an overall solid example of this scarce soda in a deep color.

Iron pontiled with slug plate. Believed to be from Yankee Jims in California's Gold Country, these sodas are popular with collectors for their iconic name. This is in exceptional condition with essentially no casewear and faint interior stain, a top example.
