10.25", smooth base, tooled top, circa 1870s-80s. A great example with crude whittled panels and a strong strike.

Here is one of the rarer unembossed Western whiskey 5ths. This mold has an embossed hourglass on the base and is found in two-piece molds with applied tops. These are found in early to mid 1880s context. This example is the best we've seen in a bright yellow amber with a touch of olive. This bottle is featured on page 145 of "California Bottles 1859-1885: A Record of Embossed and Unembossed Bottles Manufactured in Post Gold Rush California."

Applied top, 1880s. A classic Western whiskey that is highly coveted by collectors. This bottle displays well and is a great opportunity for a collector to pick up an aqua Gold Dust for less than a mint one would go for. Some minor exterior case wear, small 1/16" check in seam near the T in Trade Mark and a 1/4" Y shaped check in base. Shallow open bubble on side. See Photos.

Here is a rare applied top Western whiskey 5th in a seldom seen square shape. This example is just loaded with whittle in a beautiful reddish amber color. There is a small flake off the edge of the top, a crush on the side of the top, and a small rough spot on the base. See photos.

Another applied top German red whittle Western whiskey 5th. If you look hard enough, you might find the tiniest of flea bites.

Applied top, circa 1871-1876. Golden amber with light whittle and a strong strike, this is a great example of a classic San Francisco whiskey 5th known as the 'Circle Cutter'. These bottles start in the early 1870s and continue on through the 1890s. This example without 'A No. 1' on the reverse shoulder is the oldest variant. A few small open bubbles below the embossing on the front, see photos.

Applied top, 1860s, 1/6th of a gallon. An extremely rare Western blown 6th that is rarely seen. It is still somewhat of a mystery what the C designates, but regardless, these are often found with crude glass and great character and are highly coveted by collectors for their colors and early manufacture date.

Applied top, 1870s-80s. Here is the third variant of the applied top J.F. Cutter 5ths with the curved R and X on the base. With a nice dose of whittle, and an old amber coloration, this example will stand out in a run. There is a radiated potstone on the reverse, near the base, see photos.

Applied top, 1870s-1880s. A classic Western whiskey 5th in a bright amber color with great crudity, swirls, and bubbles of varying size. The upper half of the strike is on the light side, but overall an appealing 5th for a run of Castles. Some interior content stain that should wash out with a little muriatic acid.

9.5", applied top, open pontil, free blown, circa 1840s. A crude early gin with a nice top and some amber streaks. Overall in great shape with some very light exterior scuffing and interior stain.

Applied top, 1870s. These Western blown unembossed gins are tough to find and just don't show up very often. This example has crude panels and some faint swirls near the shoulders. Nicer than most Western blown gins.

11.5", dip mold, sticky ball pontil. A nice large sized black glass utility bottle with crude bubbly glass.

8.75", open pontil, three piece mold. An early utility in a nice emerald green. The neck has some crude stretch marks and the body of the bottle is full of whittle.

5.5", open pontil, hinge mold. A crude utility with great character in a dark amber color.

5.5", tooled top, circa 1895, embossed: "Whiteman M 144 Chambers St N.Y." on base. A rare and early milk from Sacramento California. This bottle likely dates to the 1890s prior to John Meister's exit from the company in 1899. Overall in great shape for a milk with minimal wear and just one bruise on the lip measuring about 1/4".

5.5", Tooled top circa 1906 with monogram, embossed: "Empire Pat Aug 13 01 202 K" on base. This is an extremely rare bowling pin milk from San Francisco. Not only is it rare, but the condition is superb with no stain and very minimal wear.

15.25" tall, 5.75" diameter, smooth base, circa 1870s-1880s. This is a beautiful cobalt blue demijohn in a nice large size. If you look hard enough, you'll see some very light surface scratches, likely from when it was dug. There is a tiny 1/16" peck on the side of the lip, and another on the edge of the base. See photos. Overall, a rare demijohn in great condition.

7.25" tall, 3.75" diameter, smooth base. This is a rare perfume in a large size put out by the same Philadelphia firm of the famous Harrison's Columbian Ink notoriety. No issues

6.5", open pontil, circa 1830s. A nice Cornucopia flask with little wear. There is a tiny area of roughness on the side of the neck, and several small impact dings on base likely from the pontiling process, see photos.

6.25", smooth base, applied top, 1860s. Double eagle flask in a strong aqua with a touch of cornflower blue.
