It mostly depends on the size of the tubing yu are using. I would think that a 2 1/2 inch lexan tube would work just fine with your bottles, also use finely cut copper wire or shot for the cleaning medium. I have used a 3 inch tube, but it is a little big. I don't have many small bottles, so I...
cool pics even small. that was some dig I bet. I wish yu could have gotten the bottles yu were hoping to find. I have found over the years digging is a LOTTA HARD WORK for not a lot of payback. except when yu are really lucky and get a good hole. about one in thirty it seems
Yeah, Bricks!! I have found so many busted broken bottles by bricks in the same hole that I hate bricks!! But they are kinda cool though, especially the ones with factory names on em. There used to be a guy on here yrs ago that also collected bricks, don't know where he went, we have lost so...
That's pretty exciting if they all have beavers, the one I saw must have been a sample for one of their products, as it was too small for a beaver to fit on the bottle. in fact it would be right up botlguys alley, for smalls QUOTE=nhpharm;705496]It sure does. All of the examples I have seen...
Could be Whitney glassworks, and it could be just about any glassworks, as shoe polish was a common product and all the glasshouses made polish bottles at one time or another. Its just to unknowable to make a call. No I think the extra thick glass is just an anomally that happened during the...
Thanks for your kind words Bear! By helping people, I am giving older people free rides from their homes to shop go to church etc. and I go to my local post office and have posted ride services for older residents in the part of the county that I live in. I also volunteer on two weekends a month...
My Spivey cure is embossed on one side, Asthma Cure and on the other side Spivey Med co. and on the back Oxford Ohio. it is also green glass not clear and the top is applied. blown in a snap case mold. Giving the bottles to a museum or the heirs is a really nice thing to do. If yu decide to sell...
No, I bought out a collector from Ohio a couple years ago, and the Spivey cure was with the bitters bottles that I bought from him. It was a pleasant surprise, as I happen to collect cures as well as bitters and S.F. meds and California sodas
I agree, but was just saying that nature isn't helping either. we all need to do a much better job disposing of our trash, in our area the trash company offers a free pickup day of your choosing each year, and will pick up everything but oil, which you can take to them any time. So people in my...
