THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY AND WELCOME TO MY AUCTION! I ESPECIALLY WANT TO THANK THE REPEAT BUYERS. I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS, LOYALTY AND COMMUNICATION OVER THE YEARS! IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOU ALWAYS ENJOY THE ON-LINE AUCTION EXPERIENCE AND CONTINUE TO COME BACK OFTEN. MY AUCTIONS ARE ALWAYS NO RESERVE AUCTIONS, HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS, THE WAY AUCTIONS SHOULD BE. SO PLEASE ENJOY AND HAVE FUN WITH THEM! ITEM DESCRIPTION: This is a VERY SCARCE to RARE Antique Northwood GRAPE AND CABLE Cologne Bottle made to go with a Dresser Set from the early 1900's. The Base Glass Color is PURPLE. The shape is not rare, nor the color...but the fact that it is marked is a rare treat. I have owned at least a dozen or more of these over the last 7 years and handled many more....I have never seen one marked and up until I saw this one I would have sworn this is one of the shapes that Northwood never marked. But here it is ...one that is absolutely marked...very cool! It is a beautiful example too with Brilliant, Rich Golden iridescence throughout the top and bottom with dazzling Purple, Red and Blue iridescent highlights. An elegant, colorful example that stands out in natural light on display. Even the Stopper is colorful displaying beautiful iridescence all the way around...even on the very top. The Visual Effects are sharp and extremely pleasing...the photographs show it well...please look them over and enjoy. In terms of rarity in it being marked, the shape, condition and iridescent qualities...it makes for a splendid example in every regard. If you have been putting together a gorgeous Dresser Set and need a gorgeous Cologne bottle that is MARKED and in superb condition...or perhaps you own one of these beauties...but have been considering an upgrade...look this one over and give it serious consideration. This one carries the authentic Northwood mark on the exterior bottom. Northwood at its VERY finest. It is every bit as Gorgeous as the photos show. My photos are taken outside in natural indirect sunlight. I never use a flash or props. I never enhance photos, never have, never will. I aim to show you the best iridescent color the piece offers. If the piece looks awesome in the photos...that is because...it is! What you see is what you will get! ITEM MEASUREMENTS: The piece is 9 inches tall overall including the stopper. 4 3/4 inches wide. BASE GLASS COLOR: PURPLE ITEM CONDITION: There are NO chips, cracks or repairs on this Very Scarce, Brilliant Northwood Cologne Bottle. THE BASE: The mold seams are barely there to the touch...nice and smooth. I can make out just very slight shelf wear on the bottom of the base....common to this antique glass and nothing uncommon here whatsoever I assure you. The base is in completely exceptional condition. The piece sits flat and level on a flat surface. THE INTERIOR: The interior surface of this piece is in superb condition...no issues...no wear and its clean. The iridescence is beautiful all around the flared top. Exceptional for sure! THE EXTERIOR: I can't make out any wear on the exterior whatsoever. The iridescent properties are extremely nice...the piece shimmers in natural light...Brillant, Rich and Colorful...exceptional to say the least. The pattern details are crisp and sharp. It is very apparent it has been well cared for over the last century. THE EDGE: The Edge Treatment on the piece is very well done. The piece has an overall lovely visual presentation...oh so beautiful. Truly a splendid piece of century old antique Northwood glass. That is all I can find on this Very Elusive and visually Splendid Antique Northwood Cologne Bottle. A Shimmering example of this highly collectable pattern, shape and base glass color. Here you have a rare treat in this one is MARKED with the Northwood mark. The visual presentation is very sharp too. A Classic and Classy specimen in every way. If you are a Northwood fan and love the harder to obtain pieces and appreciate colorful pieces...here is a piece that you will appreciate. Try finding another one that is marked! It is in outstanding condition too, even the stopper. A super piece to compliment a fantastic Dresser Set or to build a set around! It is obvious it has been taken care of well over the last century...preserved and kept as a show case piece in my opinion. The previous owners of this wonderful piece did a superb job keeping it safe down through the many decades. An impressive example that will add gleaming visual appeal and interest to your display as well as dollar value. It is MOST impressive on the shelf in natural light! Please look over those photos again. It is every bit as gorgeous as it looks. I have been selling antiques on Ebay a long time. You may note that my auction format is very plain...I fully intend it to be that way, no glitz and glamour. I am an antique enthusiast and collector of old glass and pottery...I find it completely fascinating. I'm selling fine antiques...not me. The historical pieces I sell are part of our history, as a country, and made right here in the good ole' USA unless I state otherwise. They represent a time when America made things, great things...before it was popular to sell this country out! Imagine...made in the USA...what a concept! They are awesome all by themselves...no glitz and glamour is needed to promote them...the photographs say it all! Please enjoy the many photos and detailed descriptions...in my opinion...nothing else needs to be done or said. You will find my descriptions much more detailed than you will get at any public auction...guaranteed! I do my best to point out damage or wear issues with the pieces I offer. I'm not perfect...but I am honest. True antique glass always has some manufacturing marks. It was made a century ago and mass produced...cheaply...well before quality was an idea. Well before Cell Phones, Computers or any technology at all. It is hard for people to comprehend that today, but it is fact. People still went to the corner drug store to use the phone! Imagine! The working conditions were unbearable by today's standards, yet the hard working American's of this era produced some of the most amazing items ever made. Manufacturing marks within the glass are part of the charm of this period in time. If there is a manufacturing mark that is out of the ordinary...such as excessive, contained, bubbles throughout the glass or a manufacturing heat check...I will mention it. Normal manufacturing marks such as straw marks, stretch marks, enclosed bubbles, light tool marks, though, will not be mentioned and should certainly be anticipated. Look over the many photos provided. Please educate yourself about the items you are buying and ask questions while the auction is in progress. If typical manufacturing marks bother you...please ask questions up front! I will readily answer questions as diligently as I can. EDUCATION: It is always a great idea to educate yourself about the antiques you are interested in purchasing before you buy from me or anyone else. It will further your appreciation and hone your interest. For Carnival Glass....I highly recommend David Doty's Carnival Glass Website. I also find his Field Guides extremely helpful if you can find them, there are several. They are the best guide to learning patterns, especially the 2000 updated version. Even used...they are well worth the money. I also recommend Edwards and Carwile's Carnival Glass Encyclopedia...there are several editions published. They cover the widest array of patterns of any guide I have seen and the text is excellent. The Mordini Auction Price guide is also extremely useful. There are other very worthy materials out there that will help you learn and grow, as well as numerous clubs and organizations. SHIPPING: I ship USPS Priority exclusively and I usually ship only on Saturdays and Mondays. I use premium ONE INCH bubble wrap (not the cheap 1/4 inch) and foam peanuts to package the pieces exclusively. I take great pride in packaging these wonderful pieces of history VERY well...like they deserve to be packaged and I like them packaged for me. I do apply a small handling fee to the Shipping Cost. I greatly apologize, but Shipping supplies are NOT cheap. Running NO RESERVE Auctions doesn't mean I make money. I never know how an item will sell. I can't afford to take losses on items (which happens) AND pay for Shipping Materials. In order to maintain the NO RESERVE Auction format that many of you have told me repeatedly that you greatly appreciate...I must make sure Shipping Supplies are covered. SHIPPING INSURANCE IS INCLUDED IN THIS FEE in the unlikely event it is damaged in transit. My goal, however, is to NEVER have a damaged piece of glass...EVER! My feedback comments prove my diligence in that regard. SHIPPING DISCOUNTS: YOU BET! I always combine shipping costs on multiple purchases whenever I feel I can do so safely with no possible harm to the pieces!!! I also discount shipping for repeat buyers whenever I can, significantly if possible, up to and including Free Shipping. Running No Reserve Auctions do not always allow me to do that...sometimes I lose money and can't...but if I can...for repeat buyers I certainly will! I don't advertise it...I just do it when I send the invoice. It is my way of saying THANK YOU! RETURNS: All purchases are considered final. I run 7 to 10 day auctions with plenty of photos, text and lots of time for questions if needed. I will accept returns if I have obviously misrepresented an item and I agree that I have. I will refund the original Purchase Price and the original Shipping Cost only.
