This antique black glass John Walker Ale bottle from Cincinnati, Ohio has a unique charm despite its broken state. Dug it out of an old privy where both pieces were found and sure enough they fit like a glove. Sadly it does have some cracks that were likely from where it broke (shown in 3rd photo).
The good news is that it's almost all there except for a couple tiny shards that are missing that I attempted to show in the last photo. Other than that the bottle was dug and may need some additional cleaning or a tumble depending on how clean you prefer your bottles. It carries a rich history of the past and would make a great addition to any collection. The bottle features a nice dark green color that adds to its historical appeal. A great opportunity for collectors to own a rare piece of history.
I believe this could be glued together and it'd look great on a shelf! Almost every bottle I have for sale is dug.Dug bottles are never in mint condition. They usually have at least one of the following issues if not all of them.
Flea bites (tiny chips that you have to look really hard for that are often seen on the lips of bottles). By making an offer/purchasing any bottles I have listed I'm assuming you've read what I wrote and acknowledge that there are likely 1 or more of the following issues listed above.
I do my best to mention cracks, chips, and bruises. As a collector myself, I understand that damage is a deal breaker on some bottles, but the extent of the damage is also important, which is why I'm just going to say that all my bottles have the minor things that I listed above, but will describe any cracks, chips or bruises that are found when examining the bottle or bottles before listing.
Yes there are cheaper rates from sellers who own a printer; I do not. I get free labels and boxes using priority so I'm sticking with that unless someone donates a printer to me. I can fit up to four pint beer or soda bottles in one box. I can fit even more smaller bottles in one box.
If that's what you're wanting to do please message me before making any offers so that I can edit the listings to where I can give you the best deals.
