RE: On a much appreciated invite - 11/12/2009 3:00:55 PM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline    Got out for some digging in this dump Rick is in on with me. I have been slow at work lately so I took advantage of a rare 60 degree Nov. day in New York. I had a good fealing bushwacking in, with the Wildlife making noise all around. I was alone, so there would be no compitition for the find of the day today. It turned out to be a good day. Even had to leave a few behind till the next trip in. (SOON). This is a group shot straight out of my pack.

RE: On a much appreciated invite - 11/12/2009 3:15:19 PM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline               Obviously this was my find of the day. I uncovered it from the side without the handle. I could see the cobalt lettering, but untill you have the handle exposed you dont have it. I picked like an archioligist aound it ever so gently and found the handle. With a little more work I lifted this killer out. Its got a 1 stamped in the shoulder, and has a nice crude cobalt stenil.  M. Sheehan / 353 River St. Troy N.Y. We have dug about a dozen Jugs in this dump. Most were wounded. A few were mint. I also left behind a I gallon Salzman Purity Above All in the green lettering instead of the normal black. This Jug is flawless. I need to work at the light rust spots some. but no hairlines, or chips. Its solid.

RE: On a much appreciated invite - 11/12/2009 3:22:44 PM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline            This nice Pint Flask  I was really hoping to be embossed. A rare Troy Flask that was prevoisly unknown has come from here. This one is embossed on the shoulder Trademark Registered, Full Measure in a banner, Pint. Interesting though the base is embossed A. G. S. Co. Anybody know what that stands for. Then, I couldnt resist carrying out this really early blown in mold, cornflower blue Phillips Milk Of Magnesia. Its a nice early crude one with a nice crude look to it. Pat. date on the lower front of 1873. Big strap sides. Then a fairly commen Pony Beer from Troy, Fitzgerald Bros. Troy N.Y.

RE: On a much appreciated invite - 11/12/2009 3:28:03 PM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline    This was an interesting Insulator to find. My buddy says he has dug them before. I  dont recall having seen it. Embossed on the shoulder  W. Brookfeild, 44 Cliff St. N.Y. An Insulator with a street address? Then a Cobalt Acker;s English Remedy. I dug A 6.5" version of this a few weeks ago. I guess its quite rare. I could throw a pic. of that up if anyone wants to see it. Nice Cobalt recessed Panel.

RE: On a much appreciated invite - 11/12/2009 3:31:23 PM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline     You notice how the Close - up of the Jug jumped right to it after I had cleaned it? Well here it is still dirty, as it came home. I will try to get some pics after these are washed but is may be a few days. You could see the jug is washed lightly.

I don't have a Red Book but I'd say it's way more than a hundred. Love the Jug also. Looks like you're in a great site.

RE: On a much appreciated invite - 11/12/2009 4:58:17 PM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline        This has been a great time digging in this dump. I know it cant last forever, but we have been systematic at it. Trying to not miss any zones. I think I may get the Jar tumbled before selling it. It didnt clean up too good. The jug needs some further cleaning. Its got some light rust. Here's a pic of the quart apple green Ball Mason i dug a month or so ago. Its even more green then I could get to show in a picture.

The blobs are great and the stenciled stoneware items are spectacular, probably my favorite class of items to pull out of a dump. You say you got other jugs from the place, so if you want to provide a line-up I would like to ogle over the finds. _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.

RE: On a much appreciated invite - 11/14/2009 6:41:10 AM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline       We've found several Kilmers Swamp Root Bottles, still waiting to find the one with the Lungs on it. The Pint flask is earlier and cruder then most we have dug. This one is applied top, and onle has one mold seam down the side. Orange Amber. Looks like it was made in one of the New England Glasshouses.

RE: On a much appreciated invite - 11/14/2009 6:44:43 AM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline     I dug this M. Salzman / Purity Above All,  Handled Jug the other day, but couldnt carry it out. Its got a greenish glaze on the upper part, and the stencil is green as well. We have dug them in the past, with black stencil. Its in good shape with just one ding in the base center. I will try to get a pic. on when its cleaned up.

RE: On a much appreciated invite - 11/14/2009 6:50:01 AM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline          Its funny how often when I dig a cavern in these dumps, I will either be standing on my best find all morning, or as I pull my wall in the best bottles comes from 6" under the surface. This was my find of the day yesterday, and I must admit it was under my feet with just a few inches of dump between my boots and it. Its a nice Carter's Master in orange amber, with a pattern around the base. I was just shy of where the water flows in, and by not digging that last few inches, I was staying dry. My digging buddy has dug this in aqua as well.
