Sarsaparilla bottles
If you are a collector of sarsaparilla bottles, do take a look at the Glassworks Summer Cleanup auction. They have dozens of examples in this auction. Otherwise it is a lot of common or damaged items but likely something for everyone. The auction closes July 31st.
Masury's Sarsaparilla Cathartic
Masury’s Sarsaparilla Cathartic with an iron pontil in a deep blue color…impressive! Ever seen one before? On ebay at auction # 6287151045. The bidding held around $13,000 to within a few hours of closing and the usual last minute bids drove the price up to $17,455, somewhat less than we thought it would bring.
Another recent big winner was a olive green sealed snuff jar with seal marked Gordon & Emmott London with flared lip. Just 17 bids brought the hammer price to $5,617.99
