    Whiskey Jug ID

    Thanks Rick, we have many jugs and stoneware displayed and used all around the house that I’m always trying to find info on. People sometimes ask how old they are and most of my replies are “I have no idea” lol, especially on the ones that are unmarked. My wife’s grandparents have dug and...

    Ft Jackson La. Olive Green Wine

    No doubt Roy, I mention the price because every bottle, and there are many hundreds, has a little sticker of what was paid or where it was dug and the year. There is a master catalog that we are yet to find among all the bottle books and bottle show awards, receipts of bottles sold, hand drawn...

    That bottle Thanks for the insight Roy. The bottle is very cool, my wife’s favorite. It’s one gifted to us by my wife’s grandparents. They paid $20 for it in 1969. Brian

    Ft Jackson La. Olive Green Wine

    Off topic but the date on this John Ryan. Is 1859 the patent date like mason jars or the year it was made?

    Ft Jackson La. Olive Green Wine

    This olive green wine was dug at Ft Jackson La. which was built 1822-1832 to protect the lower river/New Orleans and fell during a civil war battle in 1862. Used as a training facility in 1890s and early 1900s. The bottle has a high kick up bottom and very crude top. Since there is not a single...

    J. Ellwood Lee Co. Absorbent Gauze

    Agreed, I saw the cardboard box it would have come in on an auction site but don’t know what it went for, had to pay to see lol.

    J. Ellwood Lee Co. Absorbent Gauze

    That’s correct, quick search showed the company manufactured surgical goods/supplies from 1883-1910 when they sold to Johnson & Johnson. Not a long time so maybe fairly rare, who knows. Cool item nonetheless. Brian

    J. Ellwood Lee Co. Absorbent Gauze

    Check out this really great unopened jar of Lee’s absorbent gauze. The company opened in the late 1800s so I assume it’s from early 1900s or so. Has anyone seen or have info on this little gem? Thanks, Brian

    Black glass?

    Sorry for the limited info. Most of the bottles I have and all of the beers/ales were gifted to us after my wife’s grandparents passed away, I talked about it on a different thread. They had been digging and collecting since the late 60s and belonged to a bottling club in New Orleans. They...

    Black glass?

    WOW that’s pretty great! I have another 20 or so of the assorted “black glass” beers I need to clean but I’m running out of display room. The information is really appreciated as I’m trying to sort through and learn about what I have. Thanks again!
