RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 3/1/2009 2:43:00 PM    Atlas   Posts: 32 Joined: 3/24/2008 Status: offline Here's a heartbreaker of a different kind:  In the 70's, I dug a beautiful aqua, super whittled Elliman's Royal Embrocation for Horses, Manufactury Slough England.  I sold it and a few others to my Dad who was looking for some things to spruce up his office.  I visited him some time later and I see that, using a Ronco-type glasscutter, he had made a PENCIL-HOLDER out of my bottle. *&>@#!... I didn't speak to my Dad for a long time (in reply to coldwater diver) Post #: 226

RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 3/2/2009 2:14:43 AM    blobbottlebob Posts: 3351 Joined: 12/20/2005 From: Wisconsin Status: offline I'm sorry everyone for your near misses, losses, and pencil holders. Here are three shots from the spot that refuses to grant me a whole example. Basically everything I find there is a crier. But I always go back in the hopes of whole examples. (What was the definition of insanity again?) Actaully, I enjoy this dive. I just wish I'd get some pristine pieces for my collection. This first shot is all amber quarts from Wisconsin Glass molds (early 1880s). As you can tell from the picture, one was almost in one piece. Attachment (1) (in reply to Atlas) Post #: 227

This pile could be bigger but I thought it was enough to get the feel for it. Attachment (1) (in reply to blobbottlebob) Post #: 228

I have never found an embossed soda with a graphite pontil whole while diving. In fact, I almost never come close. This picture shows as close as I've ever been.

RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 3/2/2009 2:31:23 PM    Atlas   Posts: 32 Joined: 3/24/2008 Status: offline Back in the 70s, this kid (his Dad worked on the highway dept of our town) told me his Dad was on a job site near a new road and mentioned some old bottles.  I went up there, saw the freshly bulldozed raised path in the woods and saw glass shards.  I then walk down alongside the path.  I found two bottles that had been unearthed and then rolled down the 10-foot embankment and were sitting there on the leaves. One was a 12-sided aqua Atwood's Jaundice bitters and the other was a beautiful dark green kick-up turn-mold wine.  It had hit a rock and was in three big pieces next to the rock.  :-(   I wish I had taken the shards but didn't know better then.  (in reply to Oldihtractor) Post #: 233

RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 3/2/2009 4:51:19 PM    Michdigger Posts: 142 Joined: 3/5/2007 Status: offline Myself and a fellow digger were out Metal Detecting and came across this construction site on the St. Clair River in Port Huron Michigan. So we jumped out to take a look and seen all kinds of glass so took all we had to dig with which was a screwdriver and poked around. We found some real heartbreakers but knew there was more so decided to come back later with the right tools for the job. In the picture it shows Canada on the other side of the river. Ended up going back with Druggistnut and just started digging and got kicked out by a nosey neighbor who said she was watching the place. CRAP   Found this Cornflower Blue Marsh & Son Catherine Street 10 Sided Soda. Top is busted right off.   Anyone ever heard of one of these? Says Wrights Brause Limonade but it was chipped all over..Druggistnut ended up ith both bottles. _____________________________ Always looking for Michigan Beers and Sodas for sale or trade.
