Umbrella Ink
Applied top, 1870s. A dark cobalt blue umbrella ink with an applied top and crude whittled panels. This example was dug in downtown San Francisco and retains a tiny patch of dirt on the inside. There is a small 1/4" check in the neck that was likely a result of the top being applied during manufacture. Due to the dark color of the neck, the check will not show up in the photos we tried to take.

Umbrella Ink
Rolled lip, open pontil, 1860s. This umbrella ink appears clear at first, but is actually a rare off-color with a faint pink shade. Getting the color accurate in the photos was very difficult as it looks more vaseline color in backlight, but pink in natural light. There is a small 1/4" check next to the pontil, likely due to manufacturing, see photos. The photo of the pontil in backlight washes out the color, the natural light photo is accurate.

Umbrella Ink
2.25", open pontil, rolled lip. This outstanding umbrella ink exhibits beautiful crude glass and a rarely seen color. We had a hard time describing this color, but we'll call it a light peachy pink. Just an outstanding example in exquisite condition! The photo of the pontil in backlight washes out the true color, the natural light photo is accurate.

C.A. Klinkner & Co. Mnfrs of Red Rubber Stamps 320 Sansome St. S.F.
6", tooled top, 1880s. Here is an extremely rare western bottle many collectors have never seen or even heard of. There are just a few of these known, and this example will be the first to have ever been offered to the public. Charles A Klinkner was an eccentric San Francisco businessman known for his unique and successfull marketing ploys. He ran his Red Rubber Stamp business from the 1870s into the early 1890s and left us with this unique and interesting bottle to collect. This example has a light amber streak in the neck with clean Western glass and no issues. This lot includes an unembossed variant of the bottle that was dug next to it, and if you look close enough, you can see the residual ink left in the bottle.

Oakland Glass Works OGW Ammonia
Applied top, quart, circa 1885. This is an extremely rare bottle from the short lived 1880s Oakland Glass Works that is seldom offered to the public. While aqua examples occasionally show up, the highly sought after colored examples are coveted for their vibrant and wild colors. Many of the OGW bottles were neatly made, but the colored ammonias like this are often found with crude glass and misshapen tops. This example is in great condition in a teal green with just a smudge of dirt residue on the inside.

Fredericksburg Bottling Co. S.F. This Bottle Not To Be Sold
Applied top, pint, circa 1900. A hammer whittled green Fredericksbug beer from San Francisco. This is the much scarcer and more desirable pint size. There is a small chip on the bottom of the top and 1/2" check associated with it. Other than that, a beautiful bottle.

A & R Postel S.F. Cal (walking bear)
Applied top, quart, mid 1880s. Here is a bottle that is rarely offered for sale. Finding an applied top 80s quart beer for sale in any condition is hard enough, but one like this with hardly any issues is almost impossible. Arnold & Rudolph Postel were beer bottles in San Francisco in the mid 1880s who created this beautiful bottle featuring a large and detailed walking bear. Usually, these beers are full of case wear, stain, chips, and bruises, but this example is better than most known examples with just a small manufacturing issue straddling the applied top and travelling down into the neck of the bottle. There are also a few very minor pecks on the edge of the base. See photos.

Macfarlane & Co. Honolulu H I
11.5", quart, circa 1880s. Here is a rare Honolulu beer that is rarely seen or offered for sale. This example appears to have been professionally cleaned and has a few small chips on the side of the lip along with the occasional ping or scuff on the body of the bottle. Overall, a decent example.
