I did try with glass though so I guess you can put me in the nuts category. Edit That doesn't make sense.

But archaeologists are more nutz. I've seen them glue things back together that make your stuff look like preschool cookie monster cupcake tidbits. There's 10,000+ pieces to glue back together from this one privy at 6th and market in Philly, allthough it was George Washington's house. Ya I would do that if it's worthy. _____________________________ "Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission.

Maybe they could use you on the dead sea scrolls team.

They dont care if they are broken and it saves having to give them valuable bottles which can be damaged or stolen. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 17

RE: I call these Jigsaw bottles does any one do this? o... - 6/25/2007 5:58:05 PM    beendiggin Posts: 739 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline I had an o.p. quart Wellington Eagle / Eagle in dark forest green that I got at the botom of a privy, it was as flat as a pancake when I found it.  After a good deal of glue it was worth displaying for awhile.  I think I gave it to my brother eventually.  That was back in 1983 or so. I haven't found anything else worthy of gluing since then. It was worth it while I had it.  I'm sure I'm nuts.... I think.  Just ask my wife. She knows.... all too well.        (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 20
