Avid MAN gin collectors, Bill Brown and Paul Forster, have joined
together to display their very impressive collection of COSMOPOLIET /
COSMOPOLITE gin bottles, featuring the iconic standing MAN. MAN gin bottles are widely recognised as a desirable addition to any bottle collection. It is interesting to note that there are a variety of embossing styles, glass colours and bottle shapes and sizes. Closer scrutiny of the embossed MAN in the above 21 bottles reveals some subtle differences, including : >> Different type of hats >> Position and placement of the walking cane >> Facial features and clarity >> Fingers and thumbs holding the outstretched bottle - only visible on some bottles >> Coat pocket - all different - from none visible, to coat pocket, then bottle on right is actually a pouch with shoulder strap >> Coat style and lapels are all different Page 8 of the MAN GIN FAMILY features 3 examples of the extremely rare sealed THEOD C. MELCHERS freeblown gin bottles featuring the COSMOPOLITE standing MAN. For closer scrutiny of all bottles, "click" NEXT>>, above right, to view the 8 individual pages. |
