You would miss it forever. What a great great bottle. Amazing that it isn't chipped. Must have been an exciting dig. bram (in reply to marylandbottler) Post #: 44

I consider that bottle a much rarer find here in New England than any Stoddard or any other bottles produced here in New England. As fragile as it is I doubt there are many in existance anywhere considering the age. I know I will never find another like it. I have no plans to sell or trade it.

The pickle has a 1846 British rego diamond on the base, tried to get a photo of the base but could not get it clear enough for some reason. (in reply to PhilaBottles) Post #: 48

Them fossils are old , a meteorite is older. This one is Nickel-Iron and fell in Russia in 1947. From the Sikhote-Alin shower. Attachment (1) (in reply to PhilaBottles) Post #: 49

Unfortunately It was broke when I moved a few years ago. Oldest I own would be these two. Oldest piece I have that I dug is this jug,Damaged but was still a happy dig!

RE: your oldest bottle - 4/26/2006 2:39:14 PM    Mihai   Posts: 276 Joined: 1/3/2006 Status: offline This is my oldest one. If I'm not badly wrong it should be from between 1820 and 1850. If somebody has diffrent ideas please tell me, don't let me be happy and stupid. Better be happy and smart. P.S. I have some problems uploading the picture.

Figured I'd post these anyways. I've been told that these Hunnywell Spice bottles were dated from 1860-1870. That's fairly early in Calfornia's history. I was lucky and very happy to dig these.

RE: your oldest bottle - 5/9/2006 10:34:29 AM    Mihai   Posts: 276 Joined: 1/3/2006 Status: offline One more try with my oldest bottle. It's a three pieces mould with crude aplied lip and lots of bubbles. My estimate is 1823 to 1850. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

RE: your oldest bottle - 5/9/2006 11:40:28 AM    Mihai   Posts: 276 Joined: 1/3/2006 Status: offline No, Ben, this bottle was obtained in that shameless way when people with a shovel, decent back and a will for collecting don't have time for digging, scuba diving or river picking, choose the back door and buy stuff on Ebay. I'm not worthy... _____________________________ Mihai This whole worlds wild at heart and wierd on top (in reply to madpaddla) Post #: 59
