About time I post - some decent finds today - 6/28/2006 9:19:10 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline I've been absent from posting a long time!  I went out to my 1900-1930's dump again today.  I knew of a "seam" of bottles, but I'd been putting it off as it required some serious shoveling, and in the heat and humidity I haven't had the gumption to do it. Well, a storm blew through today and cooled things off considerably, so off I went.  Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I started finding bottles, the rain came again.  But then a deep green bottle neck started poking out, and I wasn't about to let some rain wash down a bunch of mud and rocks and knock the neck off a potentially nice bottle.  So I dug in the rain. Turned out to be a good thing.  The green neck belonged to a beautiful green pontilled whiskey.  I don't find ANY pontils in this dump, so this was a treat!! I also uncovered a rare gem in the milk world, and MVA Milk.  There were 3 different bottle produced by this dairy.  I've found the other two in small quantities each (5-8), but only one of this variety, and it was all busted.  This one, however, is spotless.  I sold one of it's sisters for over $300.00.  Gotta decide to keep or sell this one.... Anyhow, here's a picture of the two.  Below I'll post my other finds Tim Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I The rest of the stuff is just normal stuff.  A concave food jar (who was it that collects food jars...I have a ton of them......), a little amber cork-top, an amber Lysol (as a rule I don't take Lysols, but I  think these amber corks are cute), a 2 oz waterman's ink, a little bottle with "nail polish" angled on the side, a little pill or,  something, a light amber jar lid that says "Lightning" "Patd Apr 25 82." (I like the old glass lids) a red glass button, a neat little glass bead, and a tiny little vial.

Love the black glass pontil. We dig alot of those type bottles but never pontiled. The little something bottle is a nail polish bottle too. My wife dug a couple dozen in a turn of the century store dump and the all had red and orangeish red polish in them. Good to here from you. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to frank) Post #: 4
