Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:23805720 |
A beautiful 1890s souvenir sand art bottle from Yellowstone National Park, created by Andrew Wald - "Pioneer Sand Artist of Yellowstone" - and retailed by O.A. (Ole) Anderson at his curio shop on the grounds of Yellowstone.
Label on the bottom of the bottle reads: "Colors of the Grand Canyon" Put up by O.A. AndersonMammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming*The contents of this bottle guaranteed to contain no artificial coloring*Yellowstone National Park
A...ndrew Wald created sand bottles near Yellowstone starting in 1888. Until 1893 he sold his sand bottles through his friend Ole Anderson's shop - and in 1893 he opened a tent to sell his bottles under his own name. This dates this bottle to the early 1890s (or possibly late 1880s). Andrew Wald's sand bottles were some of the earliest souvenirs to be sold at Yellowstone.
This sand bottle and original label are in excellent condition, with no shaking or slippage of the sand.
Measures: 6" high
There is a matching bottle (with a slightly different pattern) in my other listings - the two bottles are pictured together in the last photo.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and thank you for your interest.
