I've dug both as well, and they seem to come out of mid to late 1870's pits, with the St Clair's sometimes showing-up as late as early 1880's. Many Eastern blown bottles, especially the meds, seem to be tooled earlier than our Western counterparts.<br />APAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-83830746081288727572012-03-29T11:38:29.853-07:002012-03-29T11:38:29.853-07:00I have seen the example that you are referring to ...I have seen the example that you are referring to GP...I missed out on it when it showed up on the net several years ago. I have a photo of it somewhere and it is a large 8 1/2 " size and as you mentioned, the medium saphire blue color. Definitely western blown where the regular large and small size St. Clair's seem to be eastern cobalt that etches and stains.Maybe when I come over to see your collection again, it can be viewed :) Dale M.Westernglassaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162676128646657580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-69786066653463717212012-03-29T09:48:35.988-07:002012-03-29T09:48:35.988-07:00There is also an extremely rare version of the St....There is also an extremely rare version of the St. Clair's that is Western blown. It has an applied lip, whittled, clean crude sparkly glass and is lighter in color similiar to a Dickey. I’ve only seen one. It’s a completely different mold than that of the Eastern blown and exhibits all the characteristics of a early S.F. blown bottle.Golden Plantationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166054735236043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-81397886884904458342012-03-29T08:14:40.411-07:002012-03-29T08:14:40.411-07:00St. Clair's Bay Laurel Hair Lotion was trade m...St. Clair's Bay Laurel Hair Lotion was trade marked by Henry Bowman, of Sacramento, on 10 October 1871. While the bottles have that rather unusual tooled finish top, as does the Fountain Of Youth, they nevertheless date from the 1870s. This is proved by the age of the pits where they are commonly found. I have dug both the SC and FOY in the same pit on more than one occasion. Later I will post the claim of TM by H.
