RE: Temporary displaying - 11/27/2006 4:00:17 PM    fsperry   Posts: 66 Joined: 4/4/2004 From: north central PA Status: offline Hey Steve,   thanks for the compliment !  I'll get a closeup of each shelf for you.  They are all kinds and types, though I really favor medicines and cures and the occasional bitters.  The storage unit is a very old chestnut and pine corner cupboard that I restored several years ago and it needs a little more repair and a fresh coat of tung oil. By the way, where is Delta, PA ?  ( I live near Williamsport) (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 3

RE: Temporary displaying - 11/28/2006 8:52:24 AM    cobaltbot Posts: 3878 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Great stuff Fred, like em all especially the Demis and labeled meds. It's rare to dig one of those or anything with a label but occasionally it happens.  I guess most come from under and in the walls of houses, barns, etc.  I would love to hook up someday and dig or just talk bottles, etc.  Thanks for the pics! _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....

RE: Temporary displaying - 11/30/2006 11:47:22 PM    Bottleman Posts: 936 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline Fred, how far from Williamsport do you live? I am going to college in Williamsport right now but I am originally from Bellefonte. Do you dig a lot? Maybe we could get together and dig sometime. I know of a few dumps around here but most are milk bottle age. That’s a great collection you have going there. If you go to the historical society in Williamsport you can get old maps from the area. ~~Tom (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 12

RE: Temporary displaying - 12/13/2006 6:52:34 PM    fsperry   Posts: 66 Joined: 4/4/2004 From: north central PA Status: offline Hey Tom,     Sorry it took so long to answer, but I was having trouble logging in.  I live 14 miles east from Williamsport (Hughesville) and I haven't been digging for ages, but would like to start again, when I get the time.  I may get a chance to go to the county courthouse and look at the town maps, etc., but I'd still like to have the Sanborn maps for the accuracy and detail.  My wife is going to class at Penn College.  Is that where you are going ?  Drop me a line and maybe we can do some digging in the future.     Fred (in reply to Bottleman) Post #: 13
