I happened upon a photo of this Old Woodburn(t-159) and did a little cropping to stand it on it's own. A fabulous "almost" from a few years ago. I hope A.P. doesn't mind me slapping it up here. If he was trolling EBAY for a reaction, well, he caught a Utah sucker.. This broken example is by far the nicest color of the known examples of the Woodburn. Not that there is a large sample to compare with.. 3 whole ones known, and just a small handful of broken ones ever found.
One of the top western glob fifths, and a very interesting bottle. You "R" affectionados gotta love this bottle. Three different fonts on one bottle. In WOODBURN it is the so-called eastern font, but actually the lettering style is being true to the trade mark application. VAN BERGEN, straight leg R, and in SAN FRANCISCO, a wild curved leg R. ????? Whatever...
