570g	Jesse Moore & Co. (picture of elk antlers) Moore Hunt & Co. San Francisco (abbrv. descr.); crude glop top, dense yet transparent oxblood red, hammered with whittle, sloppy glop top, 360* of spillover, extreme crudity, this bottle sold on the last list – it had a Y shaped annealing flash of less than ¼” on the right shoulder seam– it was returned with a 1”+ spider - I sent it USPS insured but since the buyer mailed it back uninsured without contacting me or the post office prior to re-shipping - I’m stuck with an uninsured loss.	Was $395~ NOW $195~

UL	(Brilliant 7up - Emerald Green tooled spin mold cylinder fifth) (Label Only) Blend / Bottled by / Edward Germain Wine Co. / 635 S. Main St. Los Angeles Ca. / Angelo Meyers / Philadelphia Monongahela / detailed picture of a pot still / Whiskey; the label is aged crème with gold black and sepia printing, it is 100% - free of loss or damage, it is extremely ornate and a picture is a must, this does not appear to be a marriage and looks to be the real deal, bottle retains some interior content haze which may just rinse out, it may well be unique.	175

A matching pair.	595
72	J. E. Brady / Sequoia / Mill Valley, Cal.; tooled, shades of medium orange amber, crisp strike, somewhat crude considering the ca. 1905 age, this is the finest example of the 3 that we’ve seen with some whittle and character, recently found in a wood shed with the original cork still in the top & never in the ground – it rates about attic mint - about impossible to improve upon.	995

Dierssen & Co. / Sacramento / Cal.; glop top, clear with a steel caste, clean, well struck (the buffalo is very well defined), free of the normal annealing cracks inevitably present on this bottle, one light scratch is the only excuse I can find, it’s been quite a while since we’ve had a mint one.	950
111	Cartan McCarthy & Co (large ornate intertwined logo)San Francisco; glop top mold with absolutely the crudest tooled top around, shades of yellowish green amber, bubbles, tears, extreme crudity & whittle, 1/8” cats-eye ding on the side of the LTC, heavy offset base, seeds, swirls, extremely crisp strike, the crudest one we’ve seen.	295

167	Bottled by Clinch Mercantile / Dealers in / Wines and Liquors / Grass Valley / Cal (shoulder monogram).; tooled, clear, several bubbles, bold strike, 3 mm cats-eye ping on base (tough to find), been a couple of years since we’ve seen one of these.	110
