Western ? Blown in the east and distributed in the west? Well?...... - rs -
WOW! What an incredible example of the St. Clair's
Thanks Lou
Hey Rick:
Hope all is well your way. The rain here has been unbelievable. Here’s a pic of the only Western version of this bottle that I’ve seen.

This is an odd one as the ad is pretty clear as to this product's origin. I have seen three variants of this bottle, the pictured smaller eastern version, the large size with the straight angle inset panels, and a large, crude applied top variant which looks totally western blown. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can provide more answers.
ReplyDeleteAnyone have photos of the Western blown variant. I saw one years ago, but barely remember it.

Andrew I will try and post a pic of the large western blown St. Clairs. It is the color of a medium blue 70s Dickey.
ReplyDeleteFine looking picture Lou, I have 2 different St. Clairs, 1 is Dark like the 1st picture and the other is light with a Benicia effect to it, I will have to pull them out and see if it looks like Your Western Variant, What Would the difference in the Eastern & Western Versions? Thanks for posting.
