Best "heartbreakers (shards) found this year - 12/30/2006 6:07:35 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2027 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline I know already what it would be for me but i'm going to put up a pile lol. Something tell me this post will have the best stuff on it, and it's all broken broken lol. The first thing on my list is the broken 2/3's of a Nailsea Type water pitcher. i have a picture of it in my memebr profile but I'll try to get one of it cleaned up. Problem is i still have yet to clean it, months later. Oh well it's easier to put up a pic of it dirty than to find it and clean it. Someday I'll get her done.

I for one vote that you clean up that piece ASAP so we can all get a better look. How big is that? I can get no sense of scale from the picture. (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 3

Many busted up historical flasks, pontiled sodas, and pontiled meds. This one hurt just so much more than the others for some reason. I guess because I could see that it was definatly whole until the brick laying on it busted it! It WAS an iron pontiled barrel bitters... C.W. Robacks Stomach Bitters Cincinnati, O. I kept every shard but these are just the two largest pieces I recovered. Chris Attachment (1) (in reply to HunterGatherer) Post #: 4
