Summer 2026 Auction (August 07, 2026 7:00 AM PT - August 16, 2026 7:00 PM PT)

Circa 1850s, 8 5/8", hexagonal, open pontil. An extremely rare pepper sauce and possibly the only recorded amber example in this mold. Another bottle dug in downtown Sacramento during the 1960s redevelopment era. There is some extremely faint, spotty exterior patina, a few shallow micro-flashes in the neck measuring about 1/16" to 1/8" that can be seen only at the right angle with sufficient light, and two tiny 1/16" pecks to the edge of one panel near the waist, all exceedingly minor and mentioned only for the utmost accuracy. Some dirt remains on the inside. The exceptionally large open pontil is a striking manufacturing characteristic that adds tremendous eye appeal. A remarkable opportunity to acquire what is likely the only recorded amber example of this style pepper sauce.
