M. Seller & Co. Portland, O.
Applied top, quart, early 1880s. This rare Portland Oregon jar comes in both a half gallon and quart size, both rare, with about six mint quarts known. This is one of the two known green toned examples, and unlike others, has no issues on the top. There are only two other Western blown wax sealer jars, the San Francisco Glass Works and the Cutting & Co jars. It may be a long time until another M. Seller is offered. There is a crude bubble on the side of the bottle that melted into itself during manufacture, see photos.

Early Pontiled Pickle Jar
12.25", iron pontil, rolled lip, 1850s. This is a large and unusual pickle jar that was dug in California Gold Country many years ago. It has fluted shoulders, a ribbed lower body and is full of beautiful whittle and tiny champagne bubbles. There is a small potstone (non-radiated) and a shallow open bubble on the interior. We've seen one or two of these jars in the past, but all the other examples had heavily stained glass and no character. This will make a unique and beautiful addition to any early food bottle collection!

Greeley's Bourbon Whiskey Bitters
Circa 1860s. Here is a vertical Greeley's in a beautiful coppery pink puce color. It's difficult trying to describe this color so please look at the photos of the bottle in natural light and make your own conclusions. We have pictured it next to a straight amber bottle for comparison. This example is in great condition and the only thing we can find is a small crush on the edge of the lip and the common manufacturing fissures between the neck and top, please see photos.

Rosenbaums Bitters N.B. Jacobs & Co San Francisco
This the the large size Rosenbaums, circa 1863-1867. It's been awhile since a Rosenbaums in good shape has come up for sale. This example is a beautiful apricot amber with a hint of olive and everything going for it! The majority of Rosenbaums examples have issues, ranging from checks to cracks, but this one is problem free and appears to be uncleaned in as found condition. The body of the bottle has some light amber swirls, and the neck some stretch marks. A strong strike, and nice heavy glass, a truly top example of 1860s Western blown glass! There is a tiny white line on the top of the top, likely a surface bubble that may have opened, see photos.
