    Sweet embossed whiskey with the label

    I recently bought this one off the bay for a good price. It's an Albion Maryland Whiskey Lamdin Thompson & Co. Baltimore. It's embossed and the best part, the paper label. This label is in amazing condition too. I am so happy to have gotten it. Enjoy, Joey

    Japanese Gold Paint

    I dug this Japanese Gold Paint bottle a few weeks back. The back says Gerstendorfer Bros New York Chicago. That was a mouth full[:D]. Anyway I'm not sure why I didn't clean it up until now, I like it a lot. Anyone know why it's Japanese gold paint? Did Japan make really good paint or what...

    Bed Pan...

    On my last dig Saturday I dug up an old bed pan. No I did not take it home. I much more prefer my own porcelain bed pan[:D]. But what I thought was cool about this one was that it still had some writing on the side of the company that made it. A good portion of it is covered with rust but its...

    super rusty license plate

    Hey everyone. I've had this license plate for a really long time now and I always thought I would clean it up and see how she looked. I've had a tough time getting the rust off. I have gotten some off but a very small area and it took a long time. I'm wondering if there is an acid that would...

    Nutmeg!

    Went digging on Monday at a new place we found. Didn't get much but did get this really cool nutmeg bottle. It looks very similar to an ink and that's what I thought I had found when I unearthed it. But then I found the very light embossing saying nutmeg. It even came with the wire handle...

    Lucky #13 Ball Perfect Mason

    Went scouting today and found a small dump. Didn't get much but did get a #13 Ball Perfect Mason. I am aware these are fairly rare because of the superstition that 13 is an unlucky number. So people used to break these all the time. Me and my friend have dug hundreds of mason jars but none have...

    Any ideas on how to display whiskeys

    I have been working on my whiskey collection and have now acquired quite a few. I have only two sizes. The half pint and the pint. I have made cases to put them in but I really like them and I think they need to be shown but they don't look good on the shelfs that I have. Please help me! I...

    I think its called a chestnut

    Went to the Antique Baltimore Bottle Club Christmas meeting and won the last game of bottle bingo![:D] I had a wide selection of one bottle left to choose from, so that's the one I went with. In the bag was a bottle which I believe is called a Chestnut. Not sure what it held but my guess is...

    got two new ones in the mail today.

    Soccer practice was canceled today because of the rain and when I got home I had a nice big package on my door step. Opened it up and found this beaut. A Christian Eckert from Ellicott City, and a really nice one too. It's a great one for my Ellicott City collection. Got on the forum and then...

    Hock wines

    Thanks to Joethecrow I now have three hock wines. One is teal, one is puce, and the other one, I got from Joe, is amber. I think I have them lined up from oldest to newest (left to right). I think this because the teal one has no seam lines at all and it has a real nice kick up. The puce one...

    1/2 gallon Wilson Distilling Co.

    I dug this Wilson Distilling Co. about a year ago and wanted to know where it was from and how much it's worth. I have never seen a whiskey this big before. Thanks, Joey.

    new buy from the bay!!!

    Very happy with this one, a Sherwood Distilling Co from Cockeysville, MD. My friend has one with no label which are pretty common but I haven't seen one with the label so I wanted it. It is probably still uncommon even with the label. It also has some of the whiskey in it. yummy[:)]. Well, here...

    some newer color

    Didn't really have anything to do today so I thought I would take a couple pics. These are my best colored bottles. Well actually one of them isn't a bottle. I think it's a candle holder, but it still has great color.[:D] As you can tell my bottles arn't as colorful as the really old ones but...

    found a new new dump!!

    Last weekend Henry and I got kicked out of our milk dump and had to go look for another dump. Since we knew that the area we were already in was old we didn't have to go far. In fact just right across the street we found another dump. It had a couple milks but wasn't all that good of a dump. We...
