They are gorgeous. Man I wish I would find some like that. I know German made marble are very pricey. I see them on ebay and people ask $20 and up on single marbles.

hi Slugplate,
just replied to an old message. I live near New Hope ,Pa and would like to bottle dig with people rather than myself.
I will be ready to dig in April. Just recovering from foot surgery.

The discs are ceramic insulator tops from older mason jars. They are very cool. In some bottle digging videos like the Alabama Boys bottle digs, they come across many of them. Usually buried very deep. These guys rent digging equipment to dig deep into bottle dumps and privy pitts.
We all have...
I have that exact piggy bank. it may be a repro though. my sister in law won it at the Jersey shore and gave it to me in the early 1970's. your finds are great. happy future hunting.

I am a Civil War re-enactor and I am always looking for pieces to complement my hobby. This little oil lamp would have been perfect.
Some of the pieces I looked at from CW can be really expensive.
