THIS IS AN AMAZING BOTTLE...RIGHT UP FRONT, I JUST FIGURED THIS BOTTLE WAS "AS FOUND" DAMAGED......IF YOU LOOK AT THE GALLERY , YOU WILL SEE AREAS OF FLASHES IN THE GLASS.....WHAT LOOKS LIKE VOIDS IN MOLD....ALMOST LIKE SOMEBODY TOOK A LITTLE HAMMER AND GAVE IT SOME WHACKS..........BUT......
T
HE ORIGINAL OWNER SAID THAT ACTUALLY HE GOT THIS MANY YEARS AGO, AND HE TOLD ME THIS WAS ACTUALLY "ANNEALING DAMAGE"....CAUSED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS...WHICH HAPPENS SUPPOSEDLY WHEN IS NOT PROPERLY RE-HEATED AFTER IT IS BLOWN....HE TOLD ME THAT THIS BOTTLE WAS LIKELY SHIPPED TO MERCHANT JUST LIKE THIS, AND USED.....all the issues are on the inside of bottle...you cannot feel any of what you see (see gallery)
So......it is a beautiful bottle on display, because the color is great.....but it does have a funky look, but original owner said these
issues were in the mold...just passing on what I was told
THIS CAME OUT OF A WESTERN WHISKEY BOTTLE COLLECTION, ORIGINAL OWNER TRIED TO FIND THE NICEST SPECIMEN HE COULD...THIS DISPLAYS VERY NICELY, BUT WITH ISSUES MENTIONED
COLOR IS BEAUTIFUL, REALLY ATTRACTIVE BOTTLE WITH THE ISSUES MENTIONED
The bottle is what I would call golden amber brown colored glass, it stands about 10 3/4" tall (guessing quart size) ...and it has mentioned annealing issues...
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL WESTERN "GREEN GINGER BRANDY" BOTTLE
.. took pictures from all angles and in different lighting conditions to show glass, neat bottle...
Gallery pictures should show you all you need to know, took pictures from many angles.
A BEAUTIFUL COLOR, WESTERN "DR. ABERNETHY'S GREEN GINGER BRANDY" 10 3/4" TALL "WHISKEY BOTTLE STYLE" VARIETY
...from in historic town of
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
All my bottles are carefully packed in bubble wrap and oversized rigid box to make sure they get to you as you see them :) Because of the size and weight, this will ship priority mail insured.
Thanks so much for looking....collect and invest in history!!!!!
