Here is a Nice Civil War Period or Before Pontilled Mustard Bottle ! It is a dug clear glass bottle with an outward rolled lip, and large rough pontil mark on the base. It has some frosting and ground action but no chipping, cracks, or breaks except one tiny surface flake on the inside of the lip, visible in the first picture. There is a green discoloration under the rolled lip that almost looks like moss or algae but for all I know it may be remnants of the old contents. Embossed on the front, but hard to see in my pictures, is, “D & Co.”. It is quite legible in hand. It measures 4.75 inches tall by almost 2.5 inches diameter.

|
|
Here is a Nice Pair of Pre-Civil War or Civil War Period Pontilled “Puff” or General Purpose Bottles ! The larger one is about 4.5 inches tall by 2.0 inches diameter, while the smaller one is about 3.25 inches tall by 1.25 inches diameter. Both bottles have good clear glass with a few seed bubbles, and both show a tubular type open pontil at the base. The larger bottle has a cool manufacturing flaw that almost looks like the glass was pinched together while still hot, or else a pin stuck in it, and run back out a short distance later. Whatever it is, it was definitely done at the time of manufacture. Both bottles have the thin flared lips, with the larger one being perfect, but the smaller having two very small chips in it. Just a Nice Displaying Pair of Civil War Period Bottles that are At Least 150 Years Old !

| Beautiful Little ca. 1880's Baby or Salesman Sample Olive Green Champagne Bottle |
|
| Here is a Quite Uncommon Little Salesman’s sample or “Baby” Olive Green Champagne Bottle ! Though showing signs of ca. 1880’s manufacturing, it very much resembles the larger Civil War period examples. The little dug bottle measures just 4 inches tall, by about 1.25 inches diameter at the base. The lip was apparently manufactured as part of the bottle, and not applied, but the little Champagne does show the high base kick-up, seen on Civil War examples. There are no cracks or chips anywhere. This little Champagne will really display nicely with your bottles, and especially stand out next to a full size Champagne, though the full size champagne pictured is not included. A Tiny but Superb Little Olive Green Champagne Bottle !

| Beautiful & Rare Mid 1800s Pineapple Bitters Bottle |
|
| Here is a Super Nice, Amber PINEAPPLE BITTERS Bottle ! If you are into antique bottles, you know how EXTREMELY RARE these Bottles Are ! Amber is the most common color, but even those are hard to find. This one measures about 9.25 inches tall by about 3 inches diameter across the base, though of course a bit wider around the center of the pineapple. It has a double collar crudely applied lip, several horizontal bubbles evident in the neck, and absolutely no blemishes at all. The base shows some roughness, and what appears to be a diagonal or hinge mold seam. I really think it was blown in a mold, but I am not positive, and the center depression could be a disc pontil that was smoothed down some. It also has the diamond shaped smooth area at center of one side of the pineapple, likely where a label would have been applied. Dating from the late 1840’s to the 1870’s these pineapple bitters bottles are highly sought out by bottle collectors, and I don’t think you can find another for sale at the moment. A Fine Civil War Era Pineapple Bitters Bottle that Displays Great !

| Fine Dug Example of a Civil War Period “Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup,” Bottle |
|
|
Here is a Fine Dug Example of a Civil War Period “Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup,” Bottle sometimes recovered in Campsites ! It has no chips, cracks, or damage of any sort, but does show the frosting and staining often seen on bottles that have been in the ground for 150 years. It is a light aqua/green color, with an inward rolled lip, and open pontil on the base. Embossed vertically around the sides in four lines, it says, “Mrs. Winslow’s”, -“Soothing Syrup”, -“Proprietors”, -“Curtis & Perkins.” The little bottle measures right at 5 inches tall by 1.125 inches diameter. Often seen, but uncommon with a pontil mark. Marketed well before the war, as a cure for children’s teething pain, the “Soothing Syrup” consisted mainly of alcohol and morphine. Evidently, it was sometimes used for other purposes during the war. Captain Samuel A. Craig, of the Veterans Reserve Corps, guarding prisoners at Camp Morton, Indiana, when asking for a leave of absence, [ he had been sick for a week ] was told by Major-General Hovey that his leave was denied and he should take a dose of “Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup.” A Fine Dug Civil War or Pre-Civil War Pontilled Medicine !
