Sunday's dig in Mobile Ala - 4/26/2010 5:55:08 PM    #1twin   Posts: 751 Joined: 5/25/2006 From: Biloxi Ms Status: offline Had a good dig and got the first whiskey jug I've dug from here. Anybody know what the long tube thing is? Or the ceramic little round thing almost like a button? Note that the pinched bottle Olive Oil's are different colors.

RE: Sunday's dig in Mobile Ala - 4/27/2010 8:23:14 PM    #1twin   Posts: 751 Joined: 5/25/2006 From: Biloxi Ms Status: offline Thanks Mike,  The round glass dome is a magnifying piece of glass. The round black  jar seal has a large C&B on it. I am still puzzled as to what the little ceramic round botton looking thing is.? It is solid with no holes or markings at all. I was told one time that the long glass tube was for and ink pen?? Any idea's on any of these things?? I appreciate any input you may share. And thank you for a reply. Without nice people like you it appears I would be posting pictures with no responses at all Thank you,  Marvin (in reply to madman) Post #: 3

RE: Sunday's dig in Mobile Ala - 4/27/2010 9:14:05 PM    #1twin   Posts: 751 Joined: 5/25/2006 From: Biloxi Ms Status: offline Hey Mike, I'm a lousy camera man And to boot my camera just said the batteries are too low for any other picture, so I guess this is the best I can do.  The jar seal has a large C&B on it as I mentioned before. The round button thing appears to be ceramic and shaped like a M&M flattened a little?? I was also wondering if you know how good the little HIGGINS INKS bottle might be from BROOKLYN N.Y.? I appreciate your help and you are welcome to dig here any time man.  Thank you,  Marvin Attachment (1) (in reply to madman) Post #: 6

The 3rd row, 4th from the left is just a chemist bottle slick.  In my description I started from the back row and came forward lft to rgt. Hope this answers your question.

I used to have a cobalt one of those Van Antwerps a few years ago, paid a ton for it, had to sell it. Maybe you'll pull out one on your next dig, looks like you're in to the right age for it. thanks for the post, nice stuff _____________________________ Bram Get busy diggin, or get busy dyin' These photos show why you can never go bottle digging in New England, and come home "empty" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxpURSe0BBk&feature=related (in reply to ALBOTTLEDIGGER) Post #: 11
