If you have an item you purchase for yourself or for re selling lets help each other ID the item, pricing, manufacture etc.

Post pictures, description, sizes etc to help others help you ID the item.

If we stick to antiques and collectibles we should be able to help each other not only ID an item but the resellers of items then can properly ID items so they can make more money.

Post your item, pictures, sizes etc and lets help each other out.

Cool item. Cleaned up you should be able to get decent money out of it just because of it's deco like aspects. Nice item for a dance club, bar, man cave, pool room etc.

Clean it up, take some good pictures and list it and let us know how you did.

The purpose of my thread is to help each other out because all of us have knowledge in so many different areas and many people see things and they dont know who made it, what it is, when it was made, possible worth or value etc.

Thanks for the question. Maybe someone who has one of these or has seen on can chime in and tell us exactly what this is called etc.

Nice share! Exactly what I was hoping we could do is help each other ID items.

Thanks.

If anyone has foreign coins, I can help. Armed with good resources and offhand knowledge of a number of alphabets and numbering systems. Plus, I love doing that stuff.

About the bitters bottles, how tall are they, what does the lip look like, any other descriptions. I have a bottle book that has some pictures, name small description on all listed. Some are worth a lot!

Sorry, two Hartwigs listed:

Hartwig Kantorowicz, Nachfolger, Berlin- rectangular, bright amber- 10" 75 to 100 $
#2 is milk glass n/a

Is the first ya bottle?

Its veryyyyy close to that 1st bottle. Only differnce is "nachfolder" is not on the bottle. On the bottle itself is "berlin" on one side, "hartwig kantorowicz" on the other side, and right down the front in cursive writing is "hartwig kantorowicz" again. Looks like it was corked. I'm not familiar with bottles but looking at it the glass tilts inward like it was corked. The labels are in German. The front label is partial...however in bold and larger then the other print reads "ummel no 0" underneath that "alcohol by volume 42% alcoholic strength 84 proof" followed by a paragraph of German. The back label "berliner. Ummel no 0. 1st int case." Followed by more German with a Hartwig signature, "gesellschaft", and the date 1823. Unique shape to the bottle itself. It's rounded but cut to look like it's 8 sided very similar to that 1st one. Color spot on as well. And same size. Maybe this was a special bottle? Idk.
