Fall 2025 Auction (October 03, 2025 7:00 AM PT - October 12, 2025 7:00 PM PT)

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.
