some dug but not by me - 5/5/2007 9:50:10 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2020 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    I picked up a few bottles today from a local digger who's been doing it for 30 plus years. Sometimes I think he's stuck in the 70's on what some things are worth, thank goodness. I got a two gallon Demijohn that is the twin to the one I already have. There are a few minor differences. I also got 9 Hutches and 2 Squats. I'll post a few photos of everything and also of both Demi's together.

" Johns Bros.Follansbee,W.Va.".   Funny thing is that my brother had this same bottle and sold it to the guy I got it from.

Usually bottles with names like Kalamazoo go for really good money. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to madman) Post #: 10

RE: some dug but not by me - 5/6/2007 2:59:07 AM    L C   Posts: 1509 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Have a few of these out in the garage Zane, but not these brands. I have one five gallon that is embossed pretty heavily, but the embossing is upside down compared to the embossing on the ones you show. Mine is most likely newer than yours isn't it. I have what I think is a three or four gallon green one ( no embossing ) that is splattered with a thousand bubbles or more. Will post a pic of it when possible. http://www.freewebs.com/yesterdaystreasures/index.htm < Message edited by L C -- 5/6/2007 3:00:44 AM > (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 11

RE: some dug but not by me - 5/6/2007 3:15:29 AM    L C   Posts: 1509 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Zane, have you ever seen the metal stands that holds these bottles where they swivel at the middle to make it easy to pour the contents? The bottles look pretty neat sitting in them. I believe a person could make them pretty easily using an authentic one as a pattern. I have a couple of them as well, may have to take a close look at one when time os allowed to see how hard it would be to copy it. http://www.freewebs.com/yesterdaystreasures/index.htm < Message edited by L C -- 5/6/2007 3:24:54 AM > (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 12

I would not think one of those could survive if it were ever to get buried in the ground. http://www.freewebs.com/yesterdaystreasures/index.htm < Message edited by L C -- 5/6/2007 3:28:42 AM > (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 13

I traded my Brother, CraigC90 (on the forum), for the first one and the other came from the Pittsburgh Bottle Show, years ago. I hope atleast one of the Hutches is decent. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to L C) Post #: 14
