recent digs...still dirty

[elmoleaf]

Recent digs...sorry haven't gotten anything cleaned up for you to see embossing etc. yet.
From left to right:
-slim green bottle with kick-up base.
-barber's bottle. Embossed with something like: Notice barber's bench bottle not to be refilled. T. Noonan Boston.
-large blue-decorated crock. No markings. Not sure how many gal. it is. Unfortunately has crack running up back side. Any tips on gluing cracks so they don't get worse?
-large green bottle with hand-tooled neck. Think this is a three piece mold. Very crude neck with wrinkled glass.
-two amber bottles from Stillman Bottling in Boston.
In front is a Sloan's Liniment with amber liquid still inside, a Grand Union Tea Co. bottle, and a small unmarked bottle.
Hopefully I'll get these cleaned soon and post some better pics. These are all from a mid-1920s (so far) dump. Steve and I also have dug a couple plastic/celluloid pocket calendars here too. I'm flattening out a 1928 Socony oil one right now. Will post that soon too.

Hi Elmo, Great finds. Love the barber bottle. After you clean the crock real well try some plain old super glue. Let it run down the crack. Super glue doesn't expand or shrink and it works real well.

Holy smokes, nice crock! It is valuable even with the crack, the rule of thumb is- the more cobalt the better. I've never seen one like it, I think it is a great piece ! How big is it? It is amazing that it is whole!
I finished off a dump I've been working on this week. This may be my last dig this year, as the weather in Maine is freezing up this weekend I got a couple of nice green glass bottles today, a Palmer jar, and a green apothecary, so itwas a good way to finish off the year, if that is the case.
Congrats on the crock!
Bram, the Downeast Digger from Maine
