Book Description
Excerpt from Check List of Early American Bottles and Flasks It was not thought necessary to mention every known color and size of the various bottles and flasks. Flasks in form of shells, pistols, shoes, cigars and others, are not mentioned, 'as they are considered of little interest. As many collectors are gathering Bitters, Medicine and other bottles and flasks, I have illustrated and described the best known ones. Diligent inquiry has been made of collectors throughout the United States, with whom I have compared notes in order to check up with them, although, for the most part, the illustrations are of bottles contained in my own collee tion: and, if any collector has bottles that are not listed, I shall be pleased to hear from him, so that I can include them in a later edition of the book.
