Broken Glass - 2/3/2005 4:01:00 PM    grdigger35   Posts: 160 Joined: 2/23/2004 From: Northern Michigan Status: offline I saw this subject awhile back and should have paid attention to it. Maybe some of you won't mind refreshing my memory. Is there any use for old broken bottles and shards, or is it just so much trash. I'm talking about pre-1900 glass. Thanks. Post #: 1

RE: Broken Glass - 2/3/2005 9:57:56 PM    Maine Digger   Posts: 823 Joined: 2/4/2004 From: Augusta, Maine Status: offline Grdigger, check out the old threads on the Bottle Show area here on the forum. I posted some pictures from the Portland Maine bottle show. Included was a picture of a lamp shade made out of split ribbed pepper sauce bottles, and a 'stained glass window' made out of panels from broken cures and medicine bottles. Sorry, I don't have them on my computer anymore. Hey Taz, or Sam do one of you guys have a better idea of how to find those pictures I posted way back? < Message edited by Maine Digger -- 2/3/2005 10:03:02 PM > _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to grdigger35) Post #: 6

Lamps like this forum already says..bookends...wind chimes, stained glass etc. they sell bottle cutters and items that cut glass of all kinds for affordable prices. You can repair bottles for your own display with shards too. (in reply to grdigger35) Post #: 7

I received a box of 6 Ross Belfast Ginger Ale bottles all broken to pieces. It makes me sick to look in that box because they look like they were MINT. (in reply to grdigger35) Post #: 8
