In order to make more room, I have decided to scale down my collection and make room for some items. I picked up odd and unique examples over the years. I hope you like my pictures, as I feel the outside lighting shows the true colors best.This lot is represented by 14 great Whitney/Whitney's Glass Works examples.Four (4) of these are wonderful inside screw versions, with the original stoppers still in them (as I acquired them).Seven (7) of these bottles have the word PATENT embossed on the shoulders (none of the inside threads have PATENT on them).There are several scarce colors in this grouping, such as CITRON, PUCE, AQUA, MOSS GREEN, YELLOW, EMERALD GREEN, etc...The mold impression and detail are very crisp and strong.These are superb example of the New Jersey Glassmakers art ...Extremely crisp, whittle, bubbles and character.A great addition to any bottle collection or display.I have other individual photos, so email me with your address, and I can send them on if you need to see more.----------------------------------------------------DETAILED LISTING OF ALL 14 WHITNEY CYLINDERS : 1) (base embossed) WHITNEY'S GLASSWORKS / Indented Base - Iron Pontil - No Residue / Patent (On Shoulders) / 2 Piece Mold / Color is a BLUE AQUA / Applied Top / Wavy, Whittled Glass With Tiny Bubbles Throughout / Slight Stain On Interior / Mint Condition / 2) (base embossed) WHITNEY GLASSWORKS GLASSBORO, N J (backwards J) / Conical Sunken Base With A Pointed Dot In The Center (No Pontil) / 3 Piece Mold / Applied Top / Wavy, Whittled Glass With Bubbles Throughout / Color Is Best Described As A DARK APRICOT AMBER/ Mint Condition / 3) (base embossed) WHITNEY'S GLASSWORKS / Indented Base - Iron Pontil - No Residue / PATENT (on shoulders) / 2 piece mold / Color is a MEDIUM OLIVE/FOREST GREEN / Applied Top / Wavy, Whittled Glass With Tiny Bubbles Throughout / Quite A Heavy Example / Mint Condition / Very Crude  4) (base embossed) WHITNEY GLASSWORKS / Indented Base -possible Iron Pontil - No Residue / PATENT (on shoulders) / 3 piece mold / Color is a MEDIUM YELLOW/GREEN - CITRON / Applied Top / Wavy, Whittled Glass With tiny Bubbles Throughout / Slight Stain On Interior / Mint Condition / Smaller Than Most - Probably A Fifth Size / Single Dot In The Middle Of The Base / 5) (base embossed) WHITNEY GLASSWORKS / Indented Base -possible Iron Pontil - No Residue / 3 Piece Mold / Color is a LIGHT YELLOW AMBER / APPLIED TOP / Wavy, Whittled Glass With Tiny Bubbles Throughout / Mint Condition / Smaller Than Most - Probably A Fifth Size / Single Dot In The Middle Of The Base / 6) (base embossed) WHITNEY'S GLASSWORKS / Indented Base - Iron Pontil - No Residue / PATENT (on shoulders) / 2 piece mold / Color is a MEDIUM OLIVE AMBER / Applied Top / Wavy, Whittled Glass With Tiny Bubbles Throughout / Tiny Single Dot In Middle Of The Base / Mint Condition / Very Crude / 7) (base embossed) WHITNEY GLASSWORKS / Indented Base -possible Iron Pontil - No Residue / PATENT (on shoulders) / 3 piece mold / Color is a MEDIUM OLIVE GREEN / Applied Top / Wavy, Whittled Glass With Tiny Bubbles Throughout / Mint Condition / Smaller Than Most - Probably A Fifth Size / Single Dot In The Middle Of The Base / 8) (base embossed) WHITNEY'S GLASSWORKS / indented base - iron pontil - no residue / PATENT (on shoulders) / 2 piece mold / Color is a MEDIUM CITRON / Applied Top / Wavy, Whittled Glass With tiny Bubbles Throughout / Quite A Heavy Example / Mint Condition / Very Crude / 9) (base embossed) WHITNEY GLASS WORKS / indented base -possible iron pontil - no residue / SINGLE DOT ON BASE / 3 piece mold / Color is a LIGHT YELLOW AMBER / applied top / wavy, whittled glass with tiny bubbles throughout / mint condition / smaller than most - probably a fifth size / couple of interior stain spots 10) (base embossed) WHITNEY'S GLASSWORKS / Indented Base - Iron Pontil - No Residue / PATENT (on shoulders) / 2 piece mold / Color is a DARK EMERALD GREEN / Applied Top / Wavy, Whittled Glass With tiny Bubbles Throughout / Mint Condition Awesome Color Rarely Seen For A Whitney Cylinder / A MUST SEE ! ! !
