Here we go with the June 2014 group of pictures (my favorites) culled from a few of the web and Facebook sites. Top honor is from Mike Newman which is pictured above. Mike captions it, “Harrison Ink – Just added the smallest size to my grouping that now stands at four sizes. Wondering what sizes I am missing.” What a powerful picture!

I have seen a few of these roped corner DR. WHEELER’S TONIC SHERRY WINE BITTERS in aqua… but aqua can also offer some diverse colors! Here is a BLUISH aqua vs. a GREENISH aqua. I believe these to be a Lyndeborough NH bottles, and both are typical colors. This is one of the BEST Lyndeborough bottles in my opinion! – Michael George

Guys, Well I’m back from Washington/Oregon and we had a great time. Alice and I spent a lot of time with the Taylors and it was fantastic. Some interesting finds. I will share the teal Drake information here other stuff will come later. Guys, I’d like to write it up for an article in Bottles and Extras later if that is OK with you. First…Ferd’s Drakes measured 31 38, Second Jeff’s Drakes measured 30 37. When I measured the two teals that Bill had they were at night and it was dark to get a great reading on the standards. The two results we tabulated and I checked what Ferd and Jeff had the next day. Believe it or not Bill’s measured 30 37 and 32 38. We placed them in the window to compare colors. You will agree that they are two different colors. Since I have seen all of these I have to agree. See for yourself. In other words Jeff’s is exactly like the light teal one Bill has and Ferd’s is very very close to the other one. I’d like to have all 4 together sometime to see for myself. Here are the pictures and data: First two are Bills data, next Jeff last Ferd. – Michael Seeliger

Story of how this collection is being built, it seems. Everything comes in groups. Latest, and most fascinating to me is that I’ve actually had the opportunity to acquire a small number of late Persian ewers. I had simply presumed that these, particularly the 17th and 18th century ones, would already be locked into the collections of museums and fancy-dance glass collectors (rather than bottle collectors) and hence utterly inaccessible. These three recent additions, to my mind are all all 19th century, based on similarities to others in the collection. I have to wonder if the one on the right is Persian or simply Middle Eastern. A bit odd, as well, to one who is accustomed only to adding utilitarian glass to his shelves. Delightful, and odd. http://www.saddleflasks.com/home-page/galleries/ewers/ – Phil Culhane
