I have been having good luck finding a
wide assortment of Otis Clapp & Son bottles. This latest
one is the amber counterpart to the clear labeled one I found a few
posts back. It has two lions flanking the company name in a
shield. I have to say it is one of my favorite Clapp bottles yet!
Yet another uncommon Clapp surfaced at
the Enfield, Ct. show. This square Otis Clapp & Son is
very common in clear (typically $1 value), but it is hard to find in
amber. This small size is listed in clear, but not amber.
Another nice surprise was a G.A.
Hazard Newport, RI etched wine bottle. One normally sees the
large “champagne” style wine bottles with etching like this, and
smaller sizes like this one are fairly rare.
A small jar that I thought I might have
turned out to be a variant! Embossed Horsford on the
shoulder, the other example I have says Horsfords. It’s a sharp
looking early baking powder bottle.
I was finally able to snag a nice
citron Davis Vegetable Pain Killer. I have seen citron Davis
bottles in the small size and the older BIMAL style, but this average
size is a new one! This was not an intended color, but a result of
contaminated cullet, or the batch of glass that was used.
