“Just wanted to send a couple of pictures that Scott took of our hair bottles in our new display cabinet. When the sun comes up in the morning, the colors just light up the living room… “ – Pam Selenak
He we go with the December 2013 group of pictures culled from a few of the Facebook sites. It looks like the color green is really dominating the collection this month which makes sense. Truly some spectacular pictures.

Here’s a little green Pitkin action – Michael George
Green, open pontiled, teepee, from the same mold as the Harvey sodas from Rhode Island. I got the bottle from a fellow digger. As far as I can tell it is probably unique in this color. – Chris Raezer
Just wanted to share my new scroll flask and a color run of my pint scrolls. I was just able to add the one on the far left in the citron color. After many months, my friend finally decided to let it go and I was able to acquire it! The color is remarkable and bright, just outstanding. – Cody Zeleny
More Pitkin Stuff – Tom Marshall
Is there a glass factory that offer a wider range of color diversity than the Boston & Sandwich factories? – Michael George
Got our first snow today. I love the ‘Tanker’ LQC Wishart’s full trees against snow. All 3 from the same mold, (3 identical blank side rivets) Union Glass Works, Philadelphia, 1859-1869. My birthplace sentimental trio. – Eric Richter
Snowstorm demijohns! – Gene Ainsworth
Cool pic in a NY state of mind…Heimstreet, Halsey’s and a pair of Dr T’s… Rick Ciralli

These Pitkins are different – see the wild swirling on the flask on the left, the formed lip on the right, and the tiny size and coloration in the middle. – Dana Charlton-Zarro

Three yellow chestnuts, sitting in a tree…. – Jeff Noordsy
I don’t know how many times I have heard, “if I could just turn back time and buy more in the 70s and 80s! Now everything is 10 times the price”. While many bottles have increased 5, 10 or 20 times the prices in the past few decades… there are still some INCREDIBLE deals to be had. I recently purchased this blown three mold sugar bowl (on the left). It is a group 18 pattern with matching lid, ex. Elsholz piece, for LESS MONEY than it sold for in 1986… yes, 27 years ago!! I am extremely happy to add it to my collection. Blown Three Mold is early, beautiful, and can often be very rare. There can’t be more than 10 perfect BTM covered sugar bowls out there! If you have ever been intrigued by this collecting category… there is no better time to jump in! – Michael George
G II 118 pint & G II 109 half pint – Charles Aprill
