Litte Cobalt " Black Dye" ???????? - 5/19/2008 2:41:19 PM    vabottles69   Posts: 89 Joined: 3/12/2008 Status: offline   Need a little help on this one???  First off let me start with I know you like pics and I will attatch one this evening to this but I'm at work right now so not possible to send pic and must keep this short...lol  Anyway while digging this weekend. I found a 5" tall cobalt blue bottle almost 2" by 1 1/4". On the front very faint Says " EVER LASTING"  In script below it says BLACK DYE Baltimore MD. On the neck it says 3oz. I would like to know more of the history. When I look it up I get EVER LASTING Mason Jars, but nothing on this black dye all cobalt blue bottle.  If i had to date it with my little experience I would say 1910-1930. It looks like it was in a cold mold due to the LIGHT EMBOSSING, COLD LINES ALONG BOTTOM, and very slightly concave front - witch seems to help atribute to the light embossing.   If anyone can give me some info would be great....I guess value would be nice also- But I have not sold bottles I dig. They become personnal because I dug them or I give them as gifts if I do not want them in my collection / or have doubles. I have not been digging but maybe a half year - Just have not seen this one anywhere yet???? I will post pic by 2100 tonight.  Thanks again to all at this site and to those who read or reply. I really enjoy this site. Digging to keep a piece of history !! PS. Interesting found this not far from a stack of News papers dated Aug,13th 1921. How they lasted 86 years is beyond me. I think it was because they where stack protecting the middle ones like a book. Interesting read though. Post #: 1

Wish I had more time to work on the website. I get VA bottles every so often , they usually sell pretty fast. I'll try to remember you are looking for them. You looking for Tidewater VA, Western VA, or just VA in general? _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to vabottles69) Post #: 15
