I have never been able to find any info on either of these bottles, has anyone got a clue to what the value of these bottles would have been (in reply to deepwoods) Post #: 21

One was an iron pontiled double eagle quart in a deep teal blue/green. Another was an iron pontiled honey amber C.W. Robacks Stomach Bitters (Barell). One recent heartbreaker was an Early freeblown malet in aqua from an 1820's/30 privy! Lots of redware, yellowware, and feather edge pottery was in there with it.

RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 1/28/2008 9:30:35 PM    lexdigger   Posts: 929 Joined: 5/31/2005 From: Lexington, Ky. Status: offline No Chris, there wasn't enough of anything to try and salvage. Just shards, fragments, and the bricks... let's not forget the bricks! The homeowners are interested in stuff from the yard so we let them box up all the shards and keep them. There were alot of redware shards, some glazed a dark green color. There were yelloware and mochaware shards. Cobalt decorated kitchenware. Colorfull feather edge kitchenware. And very few shards of glass. Some of the glass was black and the rest was aqua. I think the malet was whole when it was tossed and got busted by a brick, but the rest were just shards. I guess it got dipped to death? We've got another pit to dig. It's a brickliner and we're keeping our fingers crossed for it being 1840's/50's! It feels nice and glassy in the bottom.

RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 1/29/2008 7:06:09 PM    CazDigger   Posts: 69 Joined: 6/26/2005 From: Central NY State Status: offline I have dug a lot of rare and valuable bottles in privies over the years—(if they were WHOLE, that is). This area is the land of broken dreams, shallow privies that were usually dipped and LOTS of rocks make for a bad combination. By far the best/worst one was found in the bottom of a small wood liner that had no bottles or shards other than the bottle in question and a pontiled umbrella with the top knocked off. It was a 13” sapphire blue, iron pontiled WYNKOOPS SARSAPARILLA FOR THE BLOOD ½ GALLON. It was in about 15 pieces and I glued back together about 85% of it. After that one, we tore up the whole town hoping to find another one that might be whole, but no luck. Other great ones include Saratoga type CHITTENANGO WHITE SULPHUR WATER in quart and unlisted pint size, Cobalt 7” HARRISONS COLUMBIAN INK, teal OLD DR. TOWNSENDS MAGIC STOMACH BITTERS, emerald green iron pontiled WILCOX COMPOUND EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA and lots of other great bottles that would be the centerpiece of any collection. Instead they are just pieces. This is a great thread. It has got me fired up, looking at my boxes of shards and planning for spring!!!! Attachment (1) (in reply to deepwoods) Post #: 40
