My entire Ellicott City,MD bottle collection so far - 2/15/2010 6:38:01 PM    waskey   Posts: 490 Joined: 12/6/2008 From: ellicott city,md Status: offline Here is a picture of my entire Ellicott City,Maryland bottle collection. Ellicott City is a very small town but suprisingly they had alot of bottles,i know there are many more that i don't have that i am looking for. So far I have 11 milks,5 sodas,7 medicines,and 1 whiskey flask. I am always looking for more Ellicott City bottles so if you come across any in antique stores or anything keep me in mind.

If you come across any other Ellicott City bottles i would be very interested in buying or trading for them. _____________________________ ~henry~ (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 3

Nice collection you've got going on waskey, especially since you don't drive yet, right? Before long you will have more glass than you know what to do with, if you don't already. It is awesome that you have friends who enjoy collecting and digging; be sure to dig your town for all it's worth and hold dear those memories. There are tons of creeks and ravines in your area so it is just a matter of time until you discover a great old dumpsite full of hundreds of local bottles that you and your digging buddies can work for months or years. You guys seem pretty knowledgeable about local bottles so it will be well deserved and appreciated when it happens.  I wouldn't mind seeing some close-ups of your favorites, if you care to share some more, and above all good luck in your future searches! _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.

Me and my friends are very knowledgable about local ellicott city bottles,i am actually working on writing a guide to all the known ellicott city bottles since no has done that yet and might get it published one day. Yea we have many creeks and ravines since our town was built on a hillside. I have done about 30 different dumps in my small town and most of the bottles i have found are from baltimore,not from ellicott city. Im going to start finding some privies this spring;looking forward to some warmer weather  _____________________________ ~henry~ (in reply to Plumbata) Post #: 5

I will bring it with me to the Baltimore Bottle Show this weekend if you like. I will be at table B1 across the aisle from the appraisal table, and will have the bottle out of site under the table for you. I think I may also have a BIM Ellicot City druggist type bottle around here somewhere that I will try to locate for you before the show as well. Hope to see you there, Chris (in reply to the ham man) Post #: 7

The bottle is Rockland Dairy/ C.E. Hobson/ Ellicott City, MD. There are about 10 or so different variations of this bottle that I know of. They were very successful but almost all of their bottles are broken in local dumps which makes all the variations very valuable. From the bottles I have found from this dairy, it appears they were in business from 1930-1936. This specific bottle was made by the Thatcher Glass Co. and the date is 1936. A very interesting fact about this bottle is that the Rockland bottles were made only by the Buck Glass. Co. of Baltimore and the Thatcher glass Co. and all the Buck Rockland bottles have the name Chas E. Hobson in the center but all the Rockland bottles made by Thather have the name C.E. Hobson; im not sure why, I think it may have to do with the size of the letters that were used by Thatcher glass and maybe they couldn't fit the word Chas. so they had to use his initials instead. If anyone knows more let me know here is a picture of the new milk. Attachment (1) _____________________________ ~henry~ (in reply to waskey) Post #: 14

RE: My entire Ellicott City,MD bottle collection so far - 6/16/2010 8:07:36 PM    Lordbud   Posts: 1781 Joined: 6/16/2005 From: San Jose Status: offline Any chance there would be nearby dumps in nearby small towns? They might produce a few Ellicott City bottles...and if there's an abandoned railroad right of way running through your area, wherever there was a RR bridge over a creek/river is another possibility. There was a Southern Pacific Railroad dump in San Jose that produced some very nice local bottles that hailed from various cities along the passenger line, and many of the bottles weren't from San Jose but from small towns up the peninsula. < Message edited by Lordbud -- 6/16/2010 8:09:21 PM > _____________________________ Jason "Give me this here where I live in Glasgow, it's a hard town, I need the Stones." - TumblingDice1972 on youtube (in reply to waskey) Post #: 18

I also need to start probing out some privies around, theres bound to be some good bottles in them; ive been told that all bottles from Ellicott City are very desirable and even some of the more common ones are worth atleast $10. And there reallya ren't very many common ones from here. _____________________________ ~henry~ (in reply to Lordbud) Post #: 19
