The tall liquor bottle ("fifth" size) to the left is an example of what collectors call "old" amber. More precisely this could be called a medium yellowish amber with an olive tint, though that makes the name quite a mouthful.

The bottle also has a distinctive eight pointed "star" (like an asterisk) on the base which has been widely attributed as a product of this Western glassworks (Zumwalt 1980).
