Status: offline 		That one is pretty cool. Looks like a really light amber.. I'm to understand Suffolk has an amber medicine, but other than Richmond and Petersburg I've never seen any. Staunton and leesburg have cobalt ones, and Richmond has 1 teal medicine and a couple milk glass meds. I'd like to have any of the above..

The selenium bleached bottles can turn that color if exposed to UV.

Thanks for agreeing with me Matt, your knowledge is far greater than mine when it comes to bottles so it's nice to have someone like you in agreement with me. Now when it comes to Plumbing and Reciting the Alphabet Backwards I think I can take ya'....

I'm pretty good at plumbing.

LOL...My family has been in the business since 1888 with my Great Grandfather a Plumber/Steamfitter, my Grandfather a plumber and head of the Sewage Dept. in town, my dad a plumber and plumbing inspector, my uncle a pipefitter and my brother a sprinklerfitter. I have been doing this since 12 years of age with my dad, and as draftsman for a plumbing company for 4 years and as a General Foreman in the industry the last 25 years. I'm sure you have great skills and a great attention to detail considering how well put together your fantastic site is, so we may have to have a "PLUMB OFF" someday....

How are you at the reverse alphabet??

All my best,
Jim

Does this bottle qualfiy for your NEXUS ?

I am not a professional plumber. Just had to learn out of necessity. There is definately some art to it. It takes some abstract thought to re do it in old houses.

Its doubtful I can reliably do the alphabet forward.

Any patent medicine applies, I will add it but keep in mind it may not show up for a while since the web files are only periodically uploaded. Thanks

Interesting. The lip style indicates its a pretty late bottle. It could still be 1920 and hand tooled.
The company seemed to be in business well into the 19th century. I think a descendant still runs a medical supply store there.
Did you dig it like that or buy it?

I don't care when it's there I just enjoy being able to add to sites like your's, Tod's and Ron's....Old houses can be a challenge for sure, I'm lucky to have learned from some of the best plumbers around in my family.

I once went to a house in town of an older couple who needed a new water heater on the recommendation of a local cop I knew. When I got there I found out the heater was 34 years old and the drip took three days to fill a tiny dixie cup, as I was changing it the woman says to me" You look just like the young man who installed it with his father all those years ago". Turned out it was my grandfather and father who installed it, because of it's age my father recommended I call the maker to tell them about how the heater lasted all those years. They were so happy they gave me the heater for free and used her picture in a print ad to sell heaters in trade magazine....very cool

Status: offline 		Did you personally dig that pharmacy? IMO, the straw color came as a result of artificial exposure to ultraviolet light. The natural rays of the sun don't tend to affect glass in that way, at least not in my experience. I have dug many hundreds of bottles from late 19th and early 20th Century Nevada mining camp dumps and did not find any selenium glass that had turned any color. The manganese cleared glass all had turned a deep purple.

The only ones I have seen that dark were UV irradiated. Interesting item.
