RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 4/23/2011 6:07:12 PM    Bixby Bill Posts: 345 Joined: 4/24/2009 From: Ellington, CT Status: offline Here`s most of what I found in a shallow pit very close to the Willington, CT glassworks site, and I would say that is where they were made. There`s pieces of amber and olive chestnut flasks, demijohns, rum bottles, Lowell RR flasks, sunburst flask, folded lip bowls, and an amber piece in the foreground with the remains of an applied handle. The hole was also loaded with large rocks, so I didn`t expect to find anything whole, but just to find these pieces was great!

RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 4/23/2011 6:12:10 PM    Bixby Bill Posts: 345 Joined: 4/24/2009 From: Ellington, CT Status: offline Now for my real criers, parts and pieces of 3 half gallon and 2 quart amber pontilled Willington cathedral pickles. these came out of a 5" upper layer in an 1880`s town dump that also was loaded with pieces of amber berry bottles and Drakes Plantations, all broken. A hotel must have cleaned house to dump these older pieces there. The last large amber Willington pickle that I know of that sold was on eBay about 10 or so years ago, and I think it was for $44,000. I can imagine what they would be worth now!

They really look great in the window! I posted these last year, but I thought that this would be a good place to put them up again.

RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 4/23/2011 7:01:00 PM    Bixby Bill Posts: 345 Joined: 4/24/2009 From: Ellington, CT Status: offline The sunburst looks like a GVIII-3 or 5. It has the nice light yellow-amber that you see a lot of the Pitkin style flasks in, but then again, those were also made in Coventry, Glastenbury, and probably Willington also. Willington started in 1815, and these 3 glass houses weren`t that far apart, and in 1828 Gilbert, Turner & Co. bought both the Willington and Coventry glass houses, so those two I`m sure shared molds and probably glass blowers too. It`s too bad that more isn`t known about what Willington produced, they were in business for 57 years and probably made bottles that we`ll never realize were made there. Someday when and if the CT Glass Museum gets on it`s feet, I`ll be donating these pieces to them so hopefully they and the fact that they are from Willington will never be lost. < Message edited by Bixby Bill -- 4/23/2011 7:02:05 PM > _____________________________ Always looking for anything Bixby: bottles, tins, boxes, trade cards, advertising, etc. Been collecting for 33 years and still don`t have enough of them!
