Who's this guy? - 5/2/2005 7:49:39 AM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Found him and these other two bottles that I'm posting and wanted some info on them. I couldn't find anything on the net. Swiz Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Who's this guy? - 5/2/2005 7:56:01 AM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline And this one? I think it maybe some kind of battery?!? Any clues? It says "Willard" twice on the top and has a "+" sign next to one of the holes. It's 6 and a half inches long. Oh yeah and the guy on the jar above is a whisker over 4 and a quarter inches tall.

RE: Who's this guy? - 5/2/2005 8:02:32 AM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline And last but not least. It reads "NADLER BROS. , AMSTERDAM, N.Y." on the front and "ASK FOR NADLERS PASTEURIZED MILK, 1 PT., BB48" on the back and across the bottom of the bottle is a hug N and a smaller 31. I found nadler bros. on the net but nothing about the bottles. Thanx for reading, Swiz Attachment (1) (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 3

RE: Who's this guy? - 5/2/2005 2:18:02 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline The Nadler Brothers bottle is a milk bottle. There were so many dairies operating that it's hard to find info on all of them. One nice thing is they are very collectable, esp the ones that are from smaller dairies. Try putting it up for sale (if you don't want to keep it of course!). It may be worth a pretty penny!! Yooper (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 5

RE: Who's this guy? - 5/3/2005 7:04:26 AM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline The little brown bottle has a large "5" on the bottom. I thought it was a broken neck and raked it to the side and it stayed on top of the pile of broken glass and dirt. I took another look and it was this little treasure. I love those little bottles. What's the smallest bottles you guys have found? The one pictured here appears to be an aftershave bottle. Where the arrow is pointing is a sharp burr on both sides on the seam. I know its a newer piece, but the glass looks cool because it was made to look old. It has a ripple effect all through the bottle. Swiz Attachment (1) (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 8

RE: Who's this guy? - 5/3/2005 7:10:24 AM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline On this one the front obviously says "BAKER'S INDIAN ROOT BEER EXTRACT" on the side is "-1/2-" and on the back "BAKER EXTRACT COMPANY, SPRINGFIELD, MASS." I know this one is probably quite common but I think its pretty dang cool. Also does anyone know where I could find info on the mint marks. Thanx Swiz Attachment (1) (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 9

RE: Who's this guy? - 5/7/2005 12:03:13 AM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Just a few more from this week. Starting in the back row the biggest, clear bottle. It say's "shenleys" I think its a canadian whiskey. Its newer, the seam goes through the top. I can't find any info on it. The next biggest bottle is the brown one in the back it reads' "buy only if sealed in tin top carton" It has 2 ships and what appears to be George Washington on it. The seam doesn't go all the way through the top. The aqua colored bottle in front of that has a poor trim job on the seam and what I think is a pontil mark the size of an eisenhower dollar on the base. (still new at this). The bottles on both sides are "atwoods, jaundice bitters, formerly made by moses atwood, georgetown, mass". The clear one is a screw top and the aqua one on the left is a cork top. The other brown bottle has a seam that goes to the bottom of the neck. Nothing else really special about this one. The little tiny green one next to it says "Benjamin Franklin" on it and the bottom reads "Made in Tiawan". The dark green one in the middle says "larkin co. buffalo" I tried to look this one up and kept finding larkin soap co. buffalo. Not sure if its newer or older then the larkin soap company buffalo bottle though. The other clear one in the front on the right is a "higgins ink brooklyn ny" and what I think might be the buy of the day. The bottle front and center of the pic is a turtle ink well. j & iem Patd Oct. 31st 1865. The screw top atwoods is the only bottle I dug. The rest I bought at garage sales for a total of $6.25. The turtle inkwell was a quarter. Gotta love it. I know I do. I gotta go back to that one place. The guy say's he's got over 15,000 bottles, $1 each. I bought 5 from him (didn't have anymore cash on hand or I woulda bought more). Hope you like the pic and if you can give me any information on any of these it would be greatly appreciated. If you want to see close ups of anything let me know. Thanx for reading this long a$$ post. Swiz Attachment (1) (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 15

RE: Who's this guy? - 5/10/2005 1:54:54 PM    medbottle   Posts: 112 Joined: 7/13/2004 Status: offline Hi swizzle. Your little guy is a mustard jar, and he has two "brothers". There are three different faces: one smiling, one frowning, and one in between, and they corresponded to how spicey the mustard was. I don't remember the name of the company. I can't remember if I got this info from this site, from Digger's site, or from eBay, but there was a picture of your bottle with a description that sounded legitimate. I'll scan the Zumwalt's book and let you know if I find anything else. (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 16

RE: Who's this guy? - 5/10/2005 8:56:09 PM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Sweet, thanx for the info. I knew it had to be some sort of set. The bottom has no mint marks so I figured that they might have been sold as a gift pack. I might be wrong on the gift pack but I was pretty sure it had to be a set. I was hoping to find the rest of the set but no luck yet. Tomorrow I'll be digging at another dump that's about 100 feet closer to the cellar hole then the dump I found him at. I'll post any keepers. Tanx again, Swiz (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 17

If it is you should post a close up under collecters chat in "Ambitiuos project." (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 18

RE: Who's this guy? - 5/11/2005 7:23:01 AM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Naw don't scratch that post. I didn't give a full discription of the bottle. It is a federal law forbids...yada yada bottle. I'll post it and give a better detailed discription of it in the collectors chat. Very observant you are. Thanx for the reply.
