I have some 1800 to Civil War era stuff somewhere but this is the oldest thing I can put my hands on at this time.

I do have this childs toy pitcher. I was digging a footer in downtown Pensacola and it pooped out. I looked for info on it for years with out any luck. I have seen others but always missing the handle and spout. One day when I was visiting my grand dads sister I noticed one on her shelves where she kepted her tiny porclain do-dads. She told me that she got it from her great aunt when she was 4. Her great aunt got it from her great aunt, when she was 4, who got it from her mother when she was 4. The lady who recieved it from her mother was born in the late 1700s.

It was made of red clay as can be seen around the top.

Its nice to see you posting again capsoda,You stopped posting right before i joined but ive seen many of your posts on old threads and always enjoy them.Was there some kind of tradition to pass the pitcher down when someone was 4?

I guess so, until it got to her. She had 3 nieces who never got it. I promised my dad I would visit her when I passed through. She had one child, my cousin Charles, who she really never wanted. His wife has it all now but I am not sure what will become of it. She didn't get along with her very well.

And it is great to be back.

Nice bottles everyone..Hey Joe, I saw some similar decanters in Mckearins book, and someone on here told me it was really old. I did a little research online and it really is quite an old piece. I was surprised but I knew it was old when I saw it, just not how old.

Probably these. 1830s-40s "terlet" water bottles.
