Welcome to my eBay
"About Me" page!

Hi there...I have been a collector of old - pre-World War I or so - bottles for  41+ years (where did the time go?).  My bottle collecting has been general in nature - not specializing in anything in particular (except for medicinal tonic bottles to some degree).  I collect everything from Western glob top whiskey cylinders and flasks, to New England Pitkins, to western blob sodas, bitters, Oregon bottles, early American, etc.  Not a lot of everything, but an assortment within every category of late 18th, 19th, and very early 20th century American bottles.

I also collect books dealing with the development and history of Western rangelands and ranching - particularly in the Northwest; historical works on Oregon and its settlement; 19th century Western American maps...and just about anything that reflects the legend and lore of the 19th century West.

I have been an eBay member since November 15, 1997.


Historic Glass Bottle Identification & Information Website

Want to know more about historic American bottles?

If you have general questions about antique bottles or just want to know more about this fascinating subject, click Historic Bottle Website to view the comprehensive website that I have created as a cooperative effort between the Bureau of Land Management (in the U. S. Department of Interior and my now ex-employer) and the Society for Historical Archaeology.  This site was designed to answer general bottle age & type (i.e. typology or what a bottle was used for) questions for most American-made bottles produced between about 1800 until the 1950s.  It also provides a wealth of information on glassmaking, bottle & bottle use history, and a lot, lot more.

If that site doesn't answer your questions send an email.  If you provide a good description of the bottle in question and include a clear digital picture or pictures, I will try to help but no guarantees.  Less information and I may not be able to tell you much.  Be aware that there were literally hundreds of thousands of different type bottles produced during the 19th and early 20th century and published information is available for only a very small percentage of them.  (For example, there were well over 15,000 different embossed Hutchinson soda bottles alone made between the 1880s and 1910s!)  However, many physical manufacturing related features of bottles give clues to the age and utility of most bottles.   I may not get back immediately (I get lots of questions) but try to answer every reasonably descriptive email received within a couple weeks.
