Sun was hot this weekend... got a LOT of color!!! - 7/19/2010 12:19:06 AM    KBbottles Posts: 1403 Joined: 2/24/2010 From: South Brunswick, NJ Status: offline So I spent a few hours digging Friday and Saturday afternoons.  I had a specific spot in my site in mind where I knew that there was most likely some good stuff deeper down.  I think there is still more too.  I will post more pics soon of individual pieces and others that still need a cleaning.  As I was digging and hitting what I thought was the bottom (real hard light brown packed dirt), all of the sudden.  some of that brown dirt suddenly caved in only to reveal an older layer under it.  My heart stearted pounding with the possibilities.  Overall got some great stuff.  Had a couple of real cryers including another dark hostetters, and some white/green swirled glasses that were broken.  Got a lot of awesome stuff overall including one more pontil piece.  I'm still convinced theres a layer of them at the very base as I've been finding these all along one side wall.   Anyway, just a few pics I couldnt resist posting right away.  ENJOY!! -KB Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I`m jealous that I don`t have a spot like that to dig in. Those are some nice colors you`re finding, who knows what else is waiting for you! I have a collection of JSP bottles, and I have that color in the newer style, but I`ve never seen it in the older crude one, it`s quite a find! _____________________________ Always looking for anything Bixby: bottles, tins, boxes, trade cards, advertising, etc. Been collecting for 33 years and still don`t have enough of them!

Any idea on putting a value on this particular JSP? I'm not too well-versed on them... You should post yours sometime to show the variations in color and style. Maybe we can do a "show us your JSPs" thread something. I searched some of the old threads on here but haven't found too too much. KB (in reply to Bixby Bill) Post #: 19
