Resinol Chemical Company - 4/12/2004 10:28:18 PM    insan_art   Posts: 1 Joined: 4/12/2004 Status: offline hi, i'm kind of new to the bottle digging thing. i've been scouring an old coal mining ghost town in Pennsylvania called Landrus. (about 1880 - 1915) i've been finding some great bottles, some nice cobalt, amber, and amethyst. however, today i came acrossed an interesting find. it is not whole, so its probably not worth anything, but i'm having a hard time finding any information about it. When i first picked it up, it looked like part of an old mortar and pestal. It's white, and i believe it is glass, but the thickness and color of it almost looks like porcelain too. The bottom says "Resinol Chemical Co. Baltom. MD". It's appoximately 2 inches wide, and the bottom is very thick (at least half and inch). I'd just like to know more info on this Resinol Chem company, or where i might be able to find more info. I only found one thing on the internet about it - apparently they made personal/beauty care products. If you would like to see a picture, let me know, and i'll take one. Post #: 1

It is not surprising that your fragment has both glass and porcelain qualities. Porcelain is, after all, vitrified clay. That is, clay fired to such a temperature that components turn to glass. I don't recognize the name of the company, but someone else here may. Good hunting! ----------Harry Pristis _____________________________ ______________________________________________ Visit The Demijohn Page at: http://members.aol.com/pristis/index.html (in reply to insan_art) Post #: 2
