Fun finds today, and some questions - 6/29/2006 3:55:16 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline Found a few bottles that I wanted to keep today.  I'll go left to right: A Coca Cola - I think this is a syrup bottle.  Anyone concur? You can't see the lettering on this one, but it's a "Little Bo-Peep Ammonia" bottle.  Funny name.  First one I've seen, but from my research they're relatively common. A little figurine bottle...Close-up in in next picture... A plain ol' amber bottle...I just like these amber corks.... A milk of Magnesia bottle.  I love the tone of blue on these.  Only the second one I've found, though again I know they're common A pretty blue ink, 2 oz A perfume, I'm assuming. Only dug for 25 minutes, so not a bad haul....

RE: Fun finds today, and some questions - 6/29/2006 3:58:31 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline Here are the three smaller ones.  Two of them I have questions on.  Obviously the ink is an ink.  I think it's a very pretty square ink! Does anyone know about the "DEW" bottle.  Looks like a little perfume. The figurine I'm really curious about.  A little brass screw cap at the bottom, it's a figure of a girl with a hoop skirt, a bonnet, and some flowers over her face, I think.  Maybe it's just her hands over her face.  Pretty unique find for me Tim Attachment (1) _____________________________ "Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history." - Shaw Yooper (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 2

There are quite a few nonscript stright sided Cokes out there. As a mater of fact there are literally thousands of different SS Coke bottles. _____________________________ 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 dirtflicker) Post #: 4

Always wanted to find one. One guy found a nice bim shoe in the dump I'm digging. Keep up the great finds. Coke might be worth some dough.

There are some rare clear cokes but most of them bring $20 to $30. Not like them dang Waxahatchee Cokes {$100 to $225}that only come up when I'm broke. I do manage to score a rare one from time to time. See what you can find out about it's worth and history. Some Coke bottlers were very colorful dudes. If you dig another or decide to dump yours give me a heads up. _____________________________ 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 BOTLDGR03) Post #: 7

Looks like it was part of something else. Keep looking for something it went in.
