This is a stellar example of a Dr. Renz's Herb Bitters. This is the second variant with the large embossing and straight R, that was blown from the early to late 1870s. The color is a bright yellow with a dash of green, a rare color for any Renz's, especially this mold. There is a ice pick flake off the top that was professionally filled, measuring about 1/4" tall by 1/4" wide at the top, see photos. A must have color for any Renz's run.

10", iron pontiled, 1860s. This is a top example Lediard's square in a medium green color with amber swirls, and a small interior birdswing near the base. Dug in Marysville, CA in the 1970s by Kurt Pagett, this is a fantastic example with great character!

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.

Applied top, 1860s-1870s. Here is a stunning example of a Dr. J Walkers Vinegar bitters in a beautiful lime green color full of whittle and seed bubbles. Late 1860s Western glass at it's finest! As is the case with almost every green example, there are a few tiny manufacturing checks (1/8" or smaller). Overall a top example of a colored Western bitters.

Applied top, 1860s-1870s. A Great looking example of a classic San Francisco bitters. This example is loaded with bubbles of varying size in a rich deep aqua, approaching a teal green. No issues.

10", tooled top, circa 1880s. A nice cabin form in a medium amber with no issues. The base is slightly convex so the bottle rocks slightly when upright.

9.75", smooth base, circa 1860s. A lighter amber example with a strong strike and nice clean glass. Tiny 1/16" bruise on front base corner below Bininger's.

9.75", smooth base, circa 1860s. A classic Eastern square that never loses interest. Small open bubble on shoulder next to Old.

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.
