Other than a repaired top and a flash/crack in the base, the color is superior to just about any Jesse I've ever seen....

Lighter Jesse
I acquired this very light non vented Jesse Moore fifth a few months ago from the original "finder". It needed a light cleaning as it had laid face down in an ashy layer for 120 years or so. The photo does not show just how yellow this one is, but I have not had a lighter example in my collection. These just do not seem to come in nicer colors very often, though I heard of a nice green toned example that walked in to the Vegas show. Not sure if it found a new home or not, but this one is happy with his friends on the shelf!

JESSE MOORE - MOORE, HUNT & CO.
Here are a couple of containers for Jesse Moore Old Bourbon from the Moore, Hunt Co.
As has been bantered around on this blog, Chielovich was replaced as agent for Jesse Moore Whiskies in 1875. Hunt was brought on board as a partner in 1876.
Non air vented Jesse fifth(t-94)
Jesse Moore flask(tf-32)
Dale's set of Jesse's...... NICE!
The typical glob top Jesse Moore fifth(t-94). Large blob air vent between antlers.
This is the glob fifth we all cut our teeth on. They still look pretty good to me. Nice large top, and all of that writing. Probably in use from 1879 or so through the mid-1880's.
For collectors that haven't really ever paid attention to the difference in the two varieties of the Jesse (t-94) fifth, see if you can find one of each to compare, side by side. That big air vent makes a large difference in the overall glass character of the bottle.
We need a photo of the whittly red amber version of the bottle. Anyone have a nice globby red amber?

A group of non vented Jesse Moore fifths (t-94) from the
A.P. Collection. All were dug by him! The non vented variety were probably in use approx. 1876?-1878. As was commented on, notice the fairly tight color range for this fifth. Was George Moore that fussy about the bottles used for his product?
