Red, as Doug said it's a threadless insulator nicknamed a confederate egg.  Some were made in Richmond Va and a cache of them were found there around 1990 or so.  I was lucky enough to find that one and I also have another threadless style (LEFFERTS) I found at a yardsale for five bucks. Doug your river glass looks every bit the same as the sea glass from the bays or oceans.  I've found a few of those mallet or whatever huge black glass bases like I did a couple days ago.  I wish I knew where the whole ones were resting! _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....

I was just in an antique store yesterday found dozens of bottles for sale that have been obviously in water for a long time.  Here's what I don't know...how much does water wear decrease a bottle's value?   Do you think there's a point where water worn bottles end up worth the same amount for bottle collectors  vs. sea glass collectors...or all around water wear= less worth for bottle collectors, more worth for sea glass collectors?

Maybe I'll bid :) I have a lot ending soon, I went the bulk route. This was about 3 hours of surf picking, which I have to say is about the most easy going and relaxing activity you can do !
