...Is that the Binigers Old Kentuckey Bourbon? My dad dug one of those in a New York civil war camp.

No, sir. What you see is the only embossing.

Not a dug one, but it was rescued from a goodwill store for a couple bucks. What a steal.!

I'll say! Great bottle. Used to have one years ago. Wish I had it back now!

I remember he had a bottle, it said something like Old Kentuckey bourbon, something, New York, distilled in 1848 something reserve. Something like that.

I coulda swore it said Binigers.

That sure sounds like a Bininger. A.M. Bininger produced several squares with different product names embossed, in addition to several figurals, handled jugs, etc.

 

[RustyRelics]

That might have been it. I think I have a picture somewhere. I just have to find it.

 

[sandchip]

Hope you can find it, Rusty. We'd like to see it.

This has probably been my most wanted Bininger since I was a teenager. Only know of it coming up for sale once back when the Burton Spiller collection was auctioned. I did at least get to handle it, but it's one of those bottles that's way outta my financial league, but if you ain't dreaming, you ain't living.

Here are 3 that I found in the same dump .But it was over about a year's period of time .The clear one and the brown one are a little rough View attachment IMG_1335.jpg

That's pretty cool to find three different mold variants in three different colors from the same company.

Here's the bottom shelf of the cabinet. A lot of years of looking...

sandchip Yes I do not have near the collection you have but I have some that I think are as you put it "cool" .Here are 4 different one's from Schmidt's Bottling Work. All from same property but two different dump sites . Your bottom shelf looks awesome to me

Can't say that I've ever seen a mug base crown top. I larn me sumpin' new everday.

 

[glass half fool]

Help me to learn sandchip .What is a mug based crown top?

 

[RustyRelics]

This is my mug base crowntop. Notice that the base, looks like a mug.

 

[sandchip]

Rusty's right. It's just a name that caught on to describe a bottle with a sided base, and sounds a lot better, too!

Sandchip, yes I do not have near the collection you have but I have some that I think are as you put it "cool"...

Ain't a thing short about your bottles, man. In 45 years of collecting, I've never had a mug base anything. Found half a mug base hutch in half a dozen pieces many years ago and that's as close as I've come.

Thanks It makes sense but I do not know as much about the terminology as I should .One of the reason I join this site was to learn . I am making some progress but have a ways to go yet . Thanks for the help

 

[glass half fool]

The strange thing is along with the ones I showed in the pictures I have large pieces that would indicate I have five more broken ones .One of them is brown the others are clear .One of the most frequent bottles I have from that property is Porters Liniment and Pain King .I can tell you I spent enough time to have used every one of those Porters bottles I recovered .I have been saying I have been sitting on a Mother lode but I just can not find where it is .I think the items I have from that property where secondary spots used after the original dump was over full .The property was a place of business in the 1860's.Looking for the next great bottle is why I need the Pain King

Here's one to keep the old thread plodding along...



Embossed "Perkins - Supe / rior - Indel / ible - Ink".

 

[sandchip]

Picked up this Rome, Ga. straight side just now at the Smyrna bottle show. Pretty common but in great condition and without breaking the bank. I like the straw tint to the glass. Always good to visit with everybody, too although there were a few oldtimers missing which is a bit disheartening as we grow older.

 

[RustyRelics]

Wow, that is incredible! Incredible to me, because all of mine are dirty, lol! How much did it cost?
