My Oldest Bottle ? - 6/17/2003 4:12:31 PM    David Osborn   Posts: 47 Joined: 6/17/2003 Status: offline New to all this, but I' m finding it more addictive than my 15 years of metal detecting. This poor, broken into five pieces (and one more missing) bottle seems to be the oldest bottle I' ve dug. So I found all the pieces, glued it together and present it for your answer as to age, etc. its five inches long and reads KEBBLEWHITE MFG CO BUFFALO N.Y. along the side. (That K might be an ' H' .) No marks or pontil seems to be on the base. its a cloudy blue and is actually irridescent ! -Dave Attachment (1) _____________________________ My girlfriend and i have begun bottle digging in Omaha Nebraska and could always use tips or even an offer to tag along to see a master at work ! 402-345-4890.

Your bottle is a shoe polish container from that period, supposedly fairly common. stefan < Message edited by stefan -- 6/17/2003 4:43:29 PM > (in reply to David Osborn) Post #: 2
