    Info on 1920s Flapper 9 oz amber bottle

    Very cool bottle...not super scarce but always a favorite with collectors. They started using this trademark in 1927. If only it could talk...that's a long trip from Beaumont!

    J. J. Pillsbury, Atlanta GA,

    John J. Pillsbury was a grocer in Atlanta, Georgia in the 1880's; I believe he passed away in 1889. He's also listed as a manufacturer's agent, which often meant that he would have been an "agency" for a brewer or other producer; so very likely he was bottling and selling (but not brewing) beer...

    Possible Prototype Mason Jar?

    The early ones were pretty rough. Nonetheless, I do think your jar had some specialized use as parts of it are arranged strangely and the grinding on the base is unusual. Could have been some sort of battery jar or something to that effect. I'd date it to around 1905-1910 myself.

    L. C. Turner's Great Consumption Cure HELP!!!

    Make sure you don't confuse "sold by" with who the actual proprietor of the medicine was. The proprietor of this medicine was Dr. Louis C. Turner of St. Louis, Missouri. He distributed it to many pharmacies throughout the country for them to sell and you can see advertisements in many...

    Galveston Dig

    It says "Property of Nehi Bottling Co." around the heel and on the base "Contents/12 Fl. Oz./3R* 7".

    Galveston Dig

    Went out last weekend and dug a few holes in the rain. My first hole was a dud, but my two sons dug an enormous hole and managed to pull out a few neat things, including a very rare amber pharmacy bottle from Castleton in Galveston (in two pieces, but glueable for sure and the first we have...

    Galveston Dig

    Yeah...Galveston was a big port city and many of the beer and food bottles are British, especially in the earlier pits.

    Galveston Dig

    Went back down to Galveston last Sunday to continue on the lot we dug the privy on the previous outing. I got into the privy I had found the previous week and managed to get it dug out, though it was a real mess...there is a water main leak about 3-4' away, the lot is very sandy, and one wall...

    Galveston Dig

    Went out Sunday for a dig with the boys and my digging partner. My younger son wanted to dig a hole near his last hole, so we punched a pretty random hole next to where he dug last trip and he came up with a nice 1860's Mitchell's Eye Salve bottle. My older son I put on a hole I probed out...

    Galveston Dig

    A bit late posting, but went out a couple weekends ago to a new lot. Unfortunately much of the lot is covered with a cement slab and the maps are not much help as they don't show anything identifiable as a privy, but we probed out a few holes (trash pits) and managed to come up with some...

    Bellmont Georgia Bottle

    It's unmistakably a "G" and not a "C". That coupled with the "Bellmont" with two L's makes me think that although Bellmont, Georgia was a small town, they must have had a bottling works, at least for a short time.

    Bellmont Georgia Bottle

    My son picked this up at an antique store in Texas recently and I have completely struck out researching it. Bellmont Bottling/Works/Bellmont, GA. It's a very small soda bottle (6 ounce I suspect) and looks to be 1900-1905 or so. I can't even find a town in Georgia named Bellmont, though...

    Sawyer's Precipitated Bluing Crystals

    Surely one of the Northeast folks has seen one of these?

    Insulator help?

    Do you have it upside down? It could also be gummed up with creosote, but not sure what other options there would be. Don't be afraid to get pretty rough with it...those insulators are tough.

    Does anybody know what this say? Is it foreign?

    It says Mennen; Mennen is a big company that was founded in Newark, New Jersey by Gerhard Heinrich Mennen. You can find a history of the company on Wikipedia, but they are still around today.

    Insulator help?

    That's a wooden peg, so if you let it completely dry out in your garage or somewhere, it should screw off no problem. May just be wet and swelled up a bit right now.
