Pinkhams Hey Matt I have that same bottle...I read in Kovels price guide that there are 3 versions...a green, an apple green? and an aqua. The first 2 are worth a pretty penny but the aqua (the one I have of course :( ) is only 8$...what gives? _____________________________ Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference.

RE: More from the old dump........> - 11/8/2004 8:51:54 PM    Matt in NH   Posts: 116 Joined: 7/5/2004 Status: offline Thanks for the replies guys... this dump is a biggin DEEPWOODS, and deep too...the crocks came from over 8 inches down, the pontiled glass starts comming up at about 10-12 inches down. I've pulled over 60 bottles outa there that were 1890's or older and I have only dug 1/4 of the dump....it's a huge farm dump over a stone wall that stretches about 20 yards. Thae age of glass seems to start in the 1850's and go all the way into the 1940's......thats a lotta years of dumping Matty Attachment (1) (in reply to Matt in NH) Post #: 11

Just broke 2 bottles , scratched 1 and chipped 1 in 10 minutes, so I'm not too happy right now. My crush Maddi is coming over to babysit my sister in a week so I've been reorganizing my shelves and putting away all my dirty bottles so she wouldn't think I'm gross or anything like that. So, I put some of the bottles temporarily on top of the T.V, but thanks to Mr. Entwistle's booming bass the vibration caused them to shake off the table and smash on the bottles below Good thing they weren't any of my good bottles The ones that died tonight were: 1.1950's Dicinson's Witchazel 2. My ONLY nursing bottle 3. Iroquis Beer (I don't feel as bad about this one, since it was already chipped) The one that was injured was: Free-blown Chianti Wine R.I.P < Message edited by TheDiggerBoy91 -- 11/28/2004 12:05:35 AM > (in reply to Matt in NH) Post #: 20
