tue finds - 3/2/2006 12:11:43 AM    Trying not to break it Posts: 2306 Joined: 12/18/2004 From: balt. md. Status: offline hi everone, got to dig for a little while tues. a few interesting things. another milk bottle from 1931, a whiskey bottle that i like the name of (cobb's creek preferred), a 4 1/2" tall by 3/4" square.the bottle to the right has a pat dat 1934. the little cobalt bottle is 2" tall, the glass dropper was still in it but the bulb is gone. ther are 2 broken pieces there that i'm hoping are signs of older things. the top of a very large bottle that the seams don,t go over the top. the bottom of bottle, with no seams, the color looks black but when you hold it to the light it's dark redish brown. any thoughts on this would be greatley appreciated. thanks for looking,rhona Attachment (1) Post #: 1
