Med. blue glass, Embossed on front within a flag or ribbon pattern : " BROMLEYS / EXTRACT / OF / HERBS / BLOOMSBURY / WORKS / LEEDS " A wonderful colored bottle that has loads of seed or air bubbles! Bottle is in super mint condition. I believe this bottle to be English.

" Bottle also has a ring around the shoulder. The only thing that keeps this bottle from being dead mint is a small ping & scratch on the left side of the bottle. Not bad but noted for total accuracy. A nice western food bottle with a crocked neck!

1880's Pepper Sauce 8 7/8" tall, Aqua glass, Smooth base, with a nice, drippy glass applied double collar lip. Six sided, hexagonal form with 2 levels of gothic arched panels. The top level having 6 gothic arched panels. The bottom level has 5 gothic arched panels. The sixth panel being smooth for a label. Un-embossed! A nice bottle with small chip on the very top of the lip and a ping with a small, no feel flash on the back panel. A slight interior haze also exists in the neck, shoulder and three panels. All of this only mentioned for accuracy and does not detract from this nice bottle.

Applied Glass Seal 11 1/8" tall, BIMAL, aqua glass, round form that was made in a turn mold. Bottle has a nice, uneven, drippy, applied ring top and a smooth base. Embossed within applied glass seal : " ELLWOOD COOPER / PURE OLIVE OIL / SANTA BARBARA, CAL." This bottle is a dug bottle and does still retain some spotty inside and outside haze. Also, has some scratches and grind marks from being buried in the ground. Would respond well to a professional cleaning. Otherwise, there are no chips, cracks or dings. It is still a nice California olive oil bottle and displays very well.

NICE WESTERN OYSTER JAR 7 5/8" tall, BIM with a tooled top, deep sun colored amethyst glass, tapered, rounded form that has 12 panels around the bottle. Vertically embossed on front three panels: " SEATTLE & PUGET SOUND / PACKING CO. / SEATTLE, WASH. " This looks like a one pint bottle and was used for packing oysters. Bottle is in near mint condition with the only problem being a very small flake of lass missing from the very top of the lip. Not bad! No other chips, cracks, dings or stain. Another great colored oyster jar!

OYSTER JAR 5 7/8" tall, BIM with a tooled top, clear glass, round form, one pint jar. Vertical embossing on front reads: " HEYSER'S OYSTERS / CONTENTS 1 PT.

Another super oyster jar!

Mini Jug 3 5/8" tall, brown & tan glaze pottery, complete handle. Written in black glaze within a round stencil on front: " JONES BROS. & CO. / BLUE GRASS BELLE / VINEGAR / LOUISVILLE, KY." This jug does have a few problems but displays close to mint. There are two slivers missing from the lip area. Only one of which you can see in the last picture. The other, next to the larger flake, you can not see because I could not get it to come out on any of my pictures. Someone has painted the flakes to make them harder to see. Also a 1/2" area of pottery missing from the inside of the lip. Quite a few areas of chipping on the base that you can see in my pictures. You be the judge. I think it is still a nice little jug despite the problems!

Aqua glass with a crude, drippy applied double collar lip. This bottle has been pro-cleaned to mint condition.

Shown with a smaller bottle for size comparison only. smaller bottle is not for sale. No chips, cracks, scratches or stain. A great pepper sauce bottle!
