Description: 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. It is an antique piece from pre-1900, and due to its condition, it is being sold as is. A great opportunity for collectors to own a rare piece of history. Also a great opportunity to save some $ since I believe a good example of this bottle would bring at least $600 to the right person. 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. Scratches Flea bites (tiny chips that you have to look really hard for that are often seen on the lips of bottles). Haze/staining Casewear Tiny bruises 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. But am not going over my bottles with a magnifying glass as it isn't worth my time. 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. $20 + shipping is my bottom $ with most bottles on here as any less than that isn't worth my time as feebay takes out fees on what I make, then they take out fees on what the post office makes when I don't even make anything off the shipping. When it comes to the shipping I use priority mail. 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. If you live in the western states and shipping is above $22 for multiple bottles, or above $17 for single pint sized or smaller bottles message me and I will switch from a priority box to a medium or large flat rate box to save you some money. I can do better on price for those who are buying multiple small to medium bottles as I can combine the shipping. As stated $20 is my bottom $ on most bottles on here, but if there are multiple listings you'd be interested in purchasing, I can most likely go cheaper if they're small to medium bottles. 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. If you are planning on doing a local pickup I can give you a better deal than I would someone who I'd have to ship to, so feel free to message about that if that's what you're wanting to do. Please select the local pickup option rather than paying for the shipping because I do not know how to refund the shipping costs if it's paid for on my end. I do not give cash refunds due to a new tax law. So you will have to go through eBay and figure it out on your own if you pay for the shipping. Thanks for reading!!
