Did they paint a blank slug plate with the dairy's name themselves on the "Gilman's Bottle"? It is odd looking.
What about that Barrel Fruit Jar? Is it embossed anywhere. That thing is nice!
Here's a photo of the shards of a $1,000 Fruit Jar. Embossed, "Joshua Wright / Philad." It's also a barrel type jar. I think for the most part it's an early stylr jar. you might just have a good find there.
After actually reading every word and not just looking at the photos, I'd say you are in a Turn of the centurey Dump by the looks of things. Tear it up!!!
Howdy Zane,
The barrel is a ground top Louit Freres & Co mustard. Still looking for a bottle that's worth enough to actually part with. I am curious about that cream also. I thought it was a label only when I dug it up but kept it anyways. It's obviously handwritten, but didn't wash off during cleaning.I'm wondering if it is just resadue from white paint. I'll try too get a closeup later. Meanwhile...Here's some of what I've found so far. I do plan to visit this spot again. I save it for when I get discouraged after looking for older dumps without any luck
Hey Cobaltbot! We have the same epitaph!.
That depression glass yellow cup is sweet! I would love to bring home a nice bottle in that color someday. My favorite would be a bright yellow, winter/summer tree flask.......they only run about $10,000.
Depression glass? There's a subject I know nothing about.
I thought it was from a circa 50's punchbowl set. I very seldom find anything with the handle intact. This isn't even scrached.
