    Medicine bottle

    Anyone else have the little 3" cylindrical sample with the same embossing? It's one of those bottles that doesn't belong in my collection

    Tumbler

    Unfortunately you will have to buy the cannisters and the ends that hold the bottles unless they come with the tumbler. The other investment is enough copper pellets which is no joke these days. I just assessed the weight and price of my copper and it's about $700 alone. The chemicals are...

    NEW ADDITIONS FROM THE PAST WEEK

    The clear Casper's is scarcer than the cobalt. Talked to a Casper's guy at the JAX show who said there is at least one amber that he knows about.

    Speed Kills, Milk Bottle.

    I've always been a kind of old milk bottle kind of guy. I remember being excited as a teenager when I dug up local "round" milk bottles, so I was kind of saddened to see Ralph Finch's editorial in the recent AB&GC where he said milk bottles, barber bottles, and others that used to be...

It's amazing how the age matting on the base was reproduced. Should I get with Norman Heckler and tell him he sells fakes, or...

    Hello from Frederick MD

    Bought this today from a local Goodwill

    The biggest clue, already mentioned, is that the bottle is machine made. There are other clues, like that is not a seal, its part of the mold, as was made unreadably blurry on purpose. Bottles like this can be found at the dollar store

    Cleaning out a shelf of stuff - should I throw these out?

    I guess it sounds obnoxious, but I was trying to be realistic. You never really know how your tone is taken when you write something.

    Cleaning out a shelf of stuff - should I throw these out?

    If you use some perspective you might understand. The population of the US in 1776 was 3 million and hundreds of bottles were blown every day. The population of these machine made bottles was 130 million. Hundreds of MILLIONS of bottles were pressed out by electrified automatic bottle making...

    That's impressive. How long did it take to gather all these together? Looks like a lifetime!
