RE: New to the Litherland Collection :) - 4/1/2010 6:03:44 PM    photolitherland   Posts: 313 Joined: 6/20/2009 From: Russellville, Arkansas Status: offline Heres some a couple really nice ones I found under an old 1850s era stage coach stop inn here recently. I almost had a heart attack when I found this bottle, its near mint and was sitting right under a small crevasse I could just barely reach into. Saw it gleam with my flashlight and thought it was nothing special until I was able to fully see it. Freakin awesome. Nice but common poison just chilling under the floorboards in the dust. Found a couple other bottles but all were chipped or cracked :( But the Udolpho Wolfes made up for it. Got a few nice cuts and scratches along the way too, bottle scars lol. < Message edited by photolitherland -- 4/1/2010 6:06:00 PM > _____________________________ I see a mansard roof through the trees, the ground beneath my feet, it has garbage and concrete.

RE: New to the Litherland Collection :) - 4/1/2010 6:43:45 PM    photolitherland   Posts: 313 Joined: 6/20/2009 From: Russellville, Arkansas Status: offline Here a few more additions Ive bought or found in the past couple months. Half Gallon milk I found in a barn. I have found so many RC colas in streams and such, but never have found one with an intact label, so I thought Id buy one. Bought this beauty off of ebay a couple months ago. Dug this one out of a stream bank after a heavy rain. Found this one at a recently torn down house, it was just chillen out on the ground, dont know how old it is, 50s? or maybe earlier? The top is still in pretty good shape, its probably not worth anything but I dont care. Also bought these ones off of ebay a couple months ago. _____________________________ I see a mansard roof through the trees, the ground beneath my feet, it has garbage and concrete.

Ive looked everywhere online and I havent been able to find another one of these bottles. W D Shed Worm Specific. I believe it to be a very rare bottle, especially since it has the label still on it. If anyone has any info on it that would be great. _____________________________ I see a mansard roof through the trees, the ground beneath my feet, it has garbage and concrete.

RE: New to the Litherland Collection :) - 7/21/2010 12:45:01 AM    photolitherland   Posts: 313 Joined: 6/20/2009 From: Russellville, Arkansas Status: offline Just got back a couple weeks ago from a six weeks geology field camp of which I had to do before I graduated. We were all over the west mapping out rock formations and in some pretty remote areas. So, I found a few awesome bottles. These are some of the bottles I found while mapping in Nevada at some abandoned coal mines near the California border in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Its awesome to know that these bottles were held and used by the miners that lived in the veritable wild west in the middle of the desert, 110 some odd years ago. They could have even been used by Chinese miners that were out of jobs after the railroads were done. I did fine an opium pipe in a long forgotten valley, so Im sure the Chinese were around. I found a whole bunch of San Francisco bottles, bitteres and medicines, but every last one was broken :( This one from Rochester took a long journey to get there. This is the area I found some of those bottles in in Nevada. We were out there mapping geology everyday, from 7 til 6. I was lucky enough to happen upon this bottle near Canon City, CO while mapping on top of a mountain. I surmise it was on some guy horseback riding 100 years ago and it was in his day pack, hmmm. < Message edited by photolitherland -- 7/21/2010 12:49:53 AM > _____________________________ I see a mansard roof through the trees, the ground beneath my feet, it has garbage and concrete.

RE: New to the Litherland Collection :) - 7/22/2010 8:38:05 PM    photolitherland   Posts: 313 Joined: 6/20/2009 From: Russellville, Arkansas Status: offline A few more I got before leaving for the west like 3 months ago. H. K. Mulford Co. The night I broke up with my girlfriend she had bought me this bottle and was crying and she said, well since youre leaving you can have this. I felt like ****, but oh well, at least I got away from a bad situation and got a good bottle out of it, yikes. J. A. Bellavance & Co. was founded in 1902 by Joseph A. Bellavance as a saloon and beer, liquor and soda wholesale business at 2-4 Canal Street in Nashua, N.H. The company delivered cases and wooden kegs throughout the city with a horse and wagon team and filled “to go” buckets with beer on the saloon portion of the premises. This bottle looks about 1910 or so. _____________________________ I see a mansard roof through the trees, the ground beneath my feet, it has garbage and concrete.

My best find of the statewide garage sale YAY! A nice local soda from Hot Springs Another great 1910s find from a local bottling company from just up the road from where I live. I didnt get this one at the garage sale but off of ebay, its a Civil War era Dr. Wistars I love Dads Soda and am starting a pretty good collection of em. And then my new bottle display in my new apartment. < Message edited by photolitherland -- 8/25/2010 11:16:20 PM > _____________________________ I see a mansard roof through the trees, the ground beneath my feet, it has garbage and concrete.

I still love the old bottles better but when I see an ACL I have to get it :) _____________________________ I see a mansard roof through the trees, the ground beneath my feet, it has garbage and concrete.

RE: New to the Litherland Collection :) - 8/26/2010 10:26:29 PM    RedGinger Posts: 6533 Joined: 12/7/2007 Status: online I keep thinking of this cool place Joe took me to about two years ago.  It was an old diner from, maybe the late 1940's-50's.  His friend, whom had just bought the building/land gave him permission to check it out and the surrounding area.  Didn't find much in the dump.  The inside of the diner was pretty run down, but frozen in time.  There were crates of nice ACL's, but we don't know a lot about sodas and hadn't cleared it with the guy to remove anything.  We got a Jade-ite cup, though, as a souvenir.  There was a sign, with the menu, tuna sandwich 25 cents, etc.  There was lots of Jade-ite and Fire King stuff, a nice Hoosier cabinet we wanted so much!, the old soda fountain, and all kinds of neat stuff.  Joe probably remembers other stuff that was in there too.  It's a good thing we didn't take anything.  We wouldn't have felt right about it, and the man's wife was into antiques or ended up auctioning it.  I forget.  What a shame.  We would have loved to have had first pick and would have gladly bought some items had we known they would be for sale.  It was a neat sight to get to see anyway. _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyVTdY2BI3g (in reply to photolitherland) Post #: 38

I got three opium bottles from the 1880s-1900 and a Kanji bottle. Oh and the bottle second from the right I found in Nevada while snooping around some abandoned mine shafts and their trash dumps this summer. Its broken unfortunately so I thought Id get some non broken ones off of the bay. < Message edited by photolitherland -- 8/26/2010 10:46:39 PM > _____________________________ I see a mansard roof through the trees, the ground beneath my feet, it has garbage and concrete.
