In all my years I've never dug one, but now that I'm diving, maybe my chances could be a little better to get one whole? That is an amazing grouping Jeff. You didnt answer Mikes question about the prices on the smaller ones, if the little ones are "little", I'll take a few :} You know, a diminutive price for a diminutive bottle. Hope to see you at a show one of these days - happy bottle hunting _____________________________ Bram Get busy diggin, or get busy dyin' These photos show why you can never go bottle digging in New England, and come home "empty" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxpURSe0BBk&feature=related (in reply to kungfufighter) Post #: 15

RE: Chestnuts and Globs anyone? - 5/5/2011 9:42:05 AM    kungfufighter Posts: 1211 Joined: 2/18/2005 Status: online Thanks for all the positive words.  Yes, all of the objects were to my mind blown in New England , 1790-1820 (1830 at the very latest).  The minis are usually displayed in a backlit case - I love displaying objects in windows but our little furball makes me a bit nervous and I like to keep what I can behind glass these days.  I have sold quite a few globs over the years (both large and small) and some were even nicer than those I kept - it's always a question of timing (monetarily) and often a result of a neat story or interaction that makes any one piece a "keeper."  Objects do filter in and out of our collection at times but I've had most of the minis for 5 to 10 years.  And sorry Mike and Bram, they are not priced by the inch _____________________________ www.jeffnholantiquebottles.com www.noordsyantiques.com (in reply to sandchip) Post #: 19
