Presenting a newly updated 4th Edition of
Tippecanoe & E. G. Booz Too!
At 148 pages and with more than 200 color photographs, this is the most up-to-date and comprehensive book about the 19
th
century “McKearin” cabin shaped bottles and their reproductions, one of the most popular categories of bottle collecting. This is a digitally printed softback book published in landscape format. It measures 8½ by 11 inches, and has more than 90% of the photographs in color.
I self-published
Tippecanoe & E. G. Booz Too!
in 2003 and quickly sold out of its initial publishing run of 150 books. My first updated version was in a CD-ROM format in 2006. Both have been out-of-print for some time. Problems with a printing company ended preparation of a never released 3
rd
edition in 2014, bringing us to this latest edition.
Among the bottles covered in this new edition are the six 19
th
-century cabin bottles listed by George and Helen McKearin in American Glass, plus a newly discovered Whitney Booz bottle variety unknown to the McKearins.
· Two Tippecanoe bottles blown at the Mt. Vernon Glass Works in Vernon, New York
· Three “E. G. Booz’s Old Cabin Whiskey” bottles made at the Whitney Glass Works in Glassboro, New Jersey
· “E. G. Booz’s Old Cabin Whiskey” bottle with an internal threaded top!
· Jacobs Cabin Tonic Bitters, also attributed to Whitney
There’s lots of new information, plus recently discovered varieties of some older Booz bottles – both in the straight and beveled roof categories. Additionally, a new group of cabin bottles has been produced in southern New Jersey using molds formerly owned by the now defunct Clevenger Brothers Glass Works.
Cabin bottle reproductions are represented by the Jacobs Cabin Tonic Bitters by Owens-Illinois and
68
varieties of the E. G. Booz bottle. From the straight roof Booz bottles produced by the Clevengers, Dell, Old Jersey Glass, and the Jersey Bog Glass Works, to beveled roof cabins by Clevenger Brothers, Wheaton / Nuline, and Armstrong Cork, and new Gilson cabins – all are covered. Photos of Booz bottle molds from Clevenger Brothers and Armstrong Cork are here, as well as the original blueprints to the Armstrong Booz bottle.
As in the earlier editions of this book, all the bottles have numbers! Using an extension of the McKearin numbering system, you can keep track of which bottle is which! A new rarity index shows what bottles are rare and what is more common. And there’s an index this time!
