    Galveston Dig

    Went out Sunday for a dig with the boys and my digging partner. My younger son wanted to dig a hole near his last hole, so we punched a pretty random hole next to where he dug last trip and he came up with a nice 1860's Mitchell's Eye Salve bottle. My older son I put on a hole I probed out...

    Galveston Dig

    A bit late posting, but went out a couple weekends ago to a new lot. Unfortunately much of the lot is covered with a cement slab and the maps are not much help as they don't show anything identifiable as a privy, but we probed out a few holes (trash pits) and managed to come up with some...

    Bellmont Georgia Bottle

    It's unmistakably a "G" and not a "C". That coupled with the "Bellmont" with two L's makes me think that although Bellmont, Georgia was a small town, they must have had a bottling works, at least for a short time.

    Bellmont Georgia Bottle

    My son picked this up at an antique store in Texas recently and I have completely struck out researching it. Bellmont Bottling/Works/Bellmont, GA. It's a very small soda bottle (6 ounce I suspect) and looks to be 1900-1905 or so. I can't even find a town in Georgia named Bellmont, though...

    Surely one of the Northeast folks has seen one of these?

    Insulator help?

    Do you have it upside down? It could also be gummed up with creosote, but not sure what other options there would be. Don't be afraid to get pretty rough with it...those insulators are tough.

    Does anybody know what this say? Is it foreign?

    It says Mennen; Mennen is a big company that was founded in Newark, New Jersey by Gerhard Heinrich Mennen. You can find a history of the company on Wikipedia, but they are still around today.

    Insulator help?

    That's a wooden peg, so if you let it completely dry out in your garage or somewhere, it should screw off no problem. May just be wet and swelled up a bit right now.

    Help with ID/Age of this bottle

    I am going to disagree on that. It is definitely a blown bottle with an applied lip. Likely English. I'd guess more like 1900-1910.

    The Turf Saloon Flask Houston Texas

    Recently dug this large size (pint) flask from "The Turf", which was a saloon where you could gamble on horse races; it was situated right across the street from Western Union and that enabled them to offer this service. The saloon ran from 1899-1907 and was run by Charles Miles Lusk. The...

    Texas Hotel Bottles.....

    These are super cool. There is one of these from the Roosevelt in New Orleans, but it is baked enamel instead of embossed so may be a bit later.

    The Iron Pontil

    Iron pontil and graphite pontil are the exact same thing. Graphite is a misnomer, though, as there is no graphite in the pontil. Iron pontil is a better term for it.

    Mid 1840's I believe.

    Galveston Dig

    Went out Sunday for a dig with the boys. My older son dug a really cool Phoenix pictorial hutch soda from Galveston in one of his pits. My younger son dug a couple bromos and a few other odds and ends. I got into a little trough (4' x 18" x 18" or so) that had some trash in it; found a...

    Another mystery bottle from the Atlantic.

    Looks earlier than that to me-1880's or 1890's and maybe Dutch. Looks similar to some of the Heering bottles.

    Need help with I.D.

    I believe these were from the Newark Drug & Chemical Co. of Newark, Ohio.
