    Any thoughts on this spiderweb pattern bottle?

    Hello! A neighbor recently received this bottle as part of a lot of late 19th century pharmacy/apothecary jars. It's the only amber/brown bottle in the bunch, and the only one with this cool spiderweb pattern on it. The text across the top reads "Federal law forbids sale or re-use of this...

    It hit the block on Sunday and sold for $94,000. I guess that's a bargain....!

    WOW! Coca-Cola bottle at auction $100,000+

    Whoa, there was one that went for $240,000? Lunacy! It's inconceivable to me that anyone would have that kind of money to spend, but man I'd be thrilled to be the person selling it! Although, if you were enough of a collector to have it and know what you had, I imagine it would be pretty tough...

    Holy cow! This Root Glass Coke bottle is at auction with an estimate of $100,000 - $150,000, and a starting bid of $50,000! If that doesn't inspire you to get digging, nothing will...

    tips for finding dumps and privies?

    Hi all- I live in a house built in 1888, and I've found a lot of great stuff (newspapers, business cards, cigarette boxes and such) in the walls during repairs and renovations over the years. I'm curious to know how I would pinpoint the location of the original dump and/or privy associated with...

    Curious Milk Bottle with Spout

    WOW!!! Thank you! One of the descriptions says "for syrup or nuts." Syrup seems wrong, but nuts might make sense....that wide, stubby spout might work for sprinkling chopped nuts on a sundae or waffles...or whatever one sprinkled nuts on in the '70s. Mystery solved!!

    Curious Milk Bottle with Spout

    Has anyone here actually seen a piece like this before, with an intact spout? I've seen bottles with a little spout at the rim (though that National Dairy bottle is cooler than any I've seen), but none with the spout further down and a handle -- tea pot style-- like this. I assumed it was a milk...

    Curious Milk Bottle with Spout

    Interesting thought! Google searches don't turn up anything antique for "tea steeper" or "tea infuser"... can you point me to one?

    Curious Milk Bottle with Spout

    I've seen a lot of milk bottles, but never one quite like this. No idea of its age, as I found it in a charity shop. I can't tell if the spout is supposed to look like it does or if the end was sliced off for some reason. It's about 4" tall, and the only markings are a W and 12 on the underside...

    Curious find

    That is SO cool! My cousin, who works for a 125-year-old brick making company, says "Wow, that is a rare find. Back in the day they sometimes fabricated a kiln on the construction site due to not having a brick plant close enough. If that was case, they would often use glass as fill ( since...

    Help with Whisky bottles

    Thanks, botlguy! I suspected as much. The front is embossed with a warning that reusing the bottle is illegal, but nothing else.... My husband's grandmother used them as decoration (and quite possibly emptied them herself, from what I gather!).

    Help with Whisky bottles

    Hi all! I'd love your help establishing a date and worth for a pair of bottles I recently acquired. By the text on the underside (Distillers Agency Limited / Edinburgh Scotland ) I've determined that they are Whisky bottles, possibly for Highland Nectar, and that they date sometime after 1923...
