Any clues on the round glass bubble that is open on the bottom???? Attachment (1) _____________________________ Woody (in reply to woody) Post #: 22

Blown in a mold with a rolled lip. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Woody (in reply to woody) Post #: 23

Here's the unembossed pontil medicine jar I'm starting to clean. Nice crude bottle that was made 1845-1860, I'd say. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Woody (in reply to woody) Post #: 25

I'll hazard a guess on your 'bubble' might be an old dosage cup for medicine-have you measured it's capicity? Ounce,2 tablespoons maybe? That's my guess though I could be way off.Your vasiline looks like the oldest style I've ever found-seams quit on the shoulder?Anyway,cool finds-glad some of us are finding stuff worth bringing home!

RE: Lots of bottles...... - 6/21/2004 1:13:22 PM    Guest Hiya Woody. Your little glass "bubble" is a bleeder cup. The "physician" would place the cup against the skin and heat it with a small torch. This would create a vacuum strong enough to raise a blood blister, which was then cut to release the blood. _____________________________ Always looking Mint Cola bottles, and local bottles from North Carolina (in reply to woody)   Post #: 30

RE: Lots of bottles...... - 6/21/2004 1:16:47 PM    woody   Posts: 1637 Joined: 10/29/2002 From: Gilmanton, New Hampshire Status: offline That would make sense, Medbottle. I've never dug one before but I have heard of them. Thanks for your help in finding out what it is. It sounds like that is what it was. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to woody) Post #: 31

A Canadian bottle from New Brunswick, I believe. Maybe some of the Canadian collectors know better than me. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Woody (in reply to woody) Post #: 34

RE: Lots of bottles...... - 6/21/2004 2:08:13 PM    woody   Posts: 1637 Joined: 10/29/2002 From: Gilmanton, New Hampshire Status: offline Here's a very rare "Whitwell's Liquid Improved Opodeldoc" Open Pontiled in a clear glass, rare. Maybe unlisted. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Woody (in reply to woody) Post #: 35

RE: Lots of bottles...... - 6/21/2004 9:14:31 PM    Sam_MaineBottles Posts: 346 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Mid-coast Maine Status: offline Hi Woody Great bottles! I especially like the Farley Ink - what a sweet color. The Opodeldoc is a nice bottle as well. I have two different sized Ammoniated Opodeldoc bottles put up by S. C. Knight of South Berwick, Maine. The label says it's good for: fresh burns and freezes, contracted cords, lame stomach, ague in the face, spinal affections, etc. - opodeldoc was quite a medicine! Sam (in reply to woody) Post #: 39

RE: Lots of bottles...... - 6/22/2004 2:42:21 AM    deepwoods   Posts: 334 Joined: 2/9/2004 Status: offline Woody alright! Did you use the detector to find that spot? Also Im wondering if that Cottons could be a misspelled Coltons Extract which Ive dug before-it looks like one. That pipe is very cool to.Those type of spots are so great cause you never know what'l pop up-must have been a blast.Btw-Steve Gadd goes to the coffee shop I frequent in the city,not that I know him. _____________________________ J.D (in reply to woody) Post #: 40
