    Virginia bottle dump

    Another good find is that baby top milk bottle.

    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    Yeah, I know, that's why the park service is a constant problem if you're in, or on the edge of land they have jurisdiction over.

    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    Love that Ruppert bottle! My first J Ruppert beer was a Knickerbocker, found where the bridge crosses Trout Creek on opening day of trout season. I was 12yrs old.

    A few of my poisons

    I've found a couple of these in dumps. My guess is that they might have been for 'smelling salts' for when Ladies of that time got the 'vapors' i.e. fainting spells.

    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    I've got a Theo Young in amber. I see mussels in your pics did you find them, in salt or brackish water? Can we call these 'historical litter' and where do we draw the line between litter and historical artifact? ;)

    identify these 2 bottles

    Can't disagree with that, but a close up of the neck of the bottle on the left might help with determining the age of that particular example because it looks like an old style applied or tooled lip.

    identify these 2 bottles

    The blue one is probably a liebfraumilch 'Hock' white wine bottle. These wines were often bottled in colors such as puce and blue.

    Any Idea ??

    I don't think this bottle spent any time floating around in the water. The leather would have come off the glass. I think we'd need close ups of the neck without the stopper so we could get a good look at the glass itself that all this decoration is on. Also, a picture of the bottom of the...

    Any Idea ??

    With all the effort put into the decoration I'm thinking it's a one-off art piece. The map shows the west coasts of both North and South America right down to Cape Horn. there's too much labor put into the decoration for it to be one of a run of commercial bottles.

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    More likely an engine block too. :D Seriously though, if the vessel hasn't been stripped for fittings you can find cleats, chocks and running light fixtures.

    Nemasket?

    I figured that's what was going on. This brings up another question about the situation where there is a bottle listed there (ebay,etsy) where the shipping costs are more than the price of the bottle offered for sale. This makes no sense because if the buyer decides down the road to sell the...

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    Those Porthole frames may be made from bronze, if that's so then they'll clean up nicely.

    Nemasket?

    When I was a kid on the Cape about 60 odd years ago this bottler, Nemasket from Middleboro Ma., offered all the non-franchised soda flavors. The flavor was on the crown. I've got a few crown tops I've picked up here or there because they're a link back to earlier times for me.. I have a green...

    It's Quilted!

    Well, you have been here for a fair amount of time, and it seems your collecting specialty is poisons. If you say it's not one, then I'll rule that possibility out. Scent bottle seems to be the consensus here. Maybe someday someone will come along who's seen one of these and can identify the...

    Lens specifications recommendations?

    I've been using a Fuji Finepix 650 6.0 megapixel point and shoot camera for years and years. My original Finepix I happened to drop rendering it unusable. It is a discontinued model now. I got a mint one on ebay after buying 2 there that were in crappy condition. I'm sure it's obsolete now, but...

    Need help identifying this old bottle

    I found the other picture with google. I think I got a bum steer from that search. If it's 16 or 12 even 8 ounces then it's most likely a beer bottle. Beer is therapeutic so in a way it is a medicine bottle. ;)

    It's Quilted!

    Pocket size perfume or cologne?I guess that's a possibility, but something about the surface of the bottle makes me wonder if it's a poison. Nah, too small for that I guess. Then there's this weird looking scar on the base where something was snapped off; if you run your fingernail through the...
