    Flea Market bottle

    Re my earlier post; I should have said that blackglass sandpontilled bottles were MADE in Britain up to the early 1870s. They were often re-used at a later date to hold various contents. I have seen one similar to yours with a lable for ammonia that probably dated to after 1900. Dave

    Flea Market bottle

    Gettin paid to dig.

    Hello; Good luck with your digging. With all the abandoned properties in Detroit, there must be lots of older dumps& privies to dig. If I was digging in certain areas of Detroit, I'd be wearing a steel helmet & a flakjacket!!! Take care; Dave

    Hello; Can you post a close-up picture of the potter's stamp at the base of the bottle? might help date it. These inks were made, usually in Britain , up to the 1930s. Dave
