I have a bunch of junk on my "bottle" shelf (& elsewhere) that's not exactly bottles.  Here's some of the more interesting stuff...
 
 
 
Well, this one was a bottle, but now it's a cheese-tray or some thing.  I got it at a church rummage sale.
 
 
 
A neat little cobalt oil lamp...
 
 
 
I guess this is a bottle, but I dunno what kind.  I just like guitars...
 
 
 
Coca~Cola salt n' pepper shakers...
 
 
 
The lil' lady got this for me...
 
 
 
This Coca~Cola bank was my dad's, it's not old or anything...
 
 
 
A replica sign...
 
 
 
Lil' beer-mug looking shot glass...
 
 
Coca~Cola night light...
 
 
 
A sun-catcher from the New River Gorge Bridge...
 
 
 
Creepy owl pitchers that I bought from antique stores in Bedford, PA a few miles apart.  The green one caught my eye 1st, and when I saw the 2nd one I needed it for no apparent reason...
 
 
 
I don't know if this mug is glass or ceramic...
 
 
 
And I just thought this inkwell was incredibly interesting...

Thanks!  It just said "take me home!".  Ha ha ha.  The creepy owls are cool too... I've seen them on a bunch of sites for sale, sometimes valuable, sometimes not... I wonder if the handle placement has to do with any of it?  I'm new to all this.
 
Any way to go about identifying the inkwell?

Zanes, I would love to do a dig.  Never did that before.  How does one go about it?

Status: offline 		Somethign about the lamp caught my eye.  I really liek blue & green glass.  Once I had the green owl though, & I saw the amber one... I had to get it.  My girlfriend actually bought me the cart from a craft show.  Her family was laughing when she said she was going to give it to me for Christmas... they all thought it was junk, but I loved it!

Lived in Pittsburgh for 20 years, wife grew up in Canonsburg and I grew up out near Johnstown.

Wish I were back there - spent some time digging around several Pgh suburbs, wife pointed out several choice spots down her way, and I have scratched several dumps I know haven't been found by others out in J-town in some of the old coal company towns.  Maybe we can share a shovel some day. 

Man, I do miss it.

Crazy!  I grew up in Murrysville.  Export was the next town over, was a big mining town.
