    J-J-J-J-JUGGGGGS

    Okay! I love to look at jugs too! Damn! You just can't seem to NOT say that, it's so hilarious! LOL! Nice! You know, this brings to a more serious side of "jugs." I recently found some good quality clear glass jugs. Probably from the 70's at an old abandoned farm house. Since I'm not sure of the...

    1915 local Coke found in a creek

    Wow! That is a really cool find! You just re-inspired me to go looking again! I get discouraged after time, which is why I love this site! My favorite bottles to collect are Coke bottles, Dairy, and medicine! Wow! 1915....that bottle has been down on the creek for 108 years! Holy cow! I too look...

    1890’s mustard barrel

    Wow! That is really unique, a piece of industrial age art LOL! Love it! You say that was a mustard barrel? Quite interesting. That's huge for a mustard jar/barrel! And yeah, it does look like a glass railroad insulator!

    Examples/pics of any Estelleville Glassworks Bottles

    I have known this factory since I was a kid. It was an early 19th century glass factory that was in operation from 1825-1877. The factory was built between 1825-26 by John H. Scott for the Estell family. Glass production began in 1826. It closed sometime around 1900 I think. There used to be...

    Does anyone know if Glass Bottles, made at EstelleVille Glassworks in Atlantic County Park, Estell Manor, NJ still exist?

    Original 1988 (??) full Holiday Coca Cola Bottles (6) in original cardboard container!

    Hey thanks for the info.! Its kind of what I thought. Ha! They certainly look like the original style from the 60s, but even filled, they weigh only as much as an original one does EMPTY! So, that's a dead giveaway there. And, yes, the fact that they mass produced them made them almost...

    Original 1988 (??) full Holiday Coca Cola Bottles (6) in original cardboard container!

    Hey! Just wanted to share my latest find with everyone! I was helping to clean out an old house and found these "hiding" away tucked out of sight on the corner floor of the attic! The house is historic 1800s! Hopefully, I'll find more "hidden" treasures. I think I know that these are...

    Have Access to old bottling plant that operated from 1870 to 1915

    Damn! Regardless of whether they made glass bottles at the plant, or if they were just bottling, if there is any site where you will find old bottles....you found it! My suggestion is to push all the old broken bottles and shards away from an area and start digging down deeper! All the intact...

    Needing a professional local South Jersey Antiques/Sports Memorabilia Appraiser

    No, LOL! I'd never trust EBAY prices. Even as an armature I can see how stupid the prices are. They'd sell you a $2 bottle for $2000! Like you say, they fishin for fools! But, I have used it to to see the difference between one and card and another, and have seen that there is a difference in...

    Needing a professional local South Jersey Antiques/Sports Memorabilia Appraiser

    Well, I looked at the PSA website, and, yeah, they are a bit pricey. As I don't think I have but a handful of card worth any significant value (over$500), just allot of them that could amount to a significant amount, I don't think it'd be worth it. Except one or two. I have 2 Garbage Pail Kids...

    Needing a professional local South Jersey Antiques/Sports Memorabilia Appraiser

    I recently uncovered my (God, I can't believe I'm saying this) OLD (LOL) Garbage Pail Kids Cards collection. Allot of them are probably not worth more than a dollar a piece, but I have more than a few that may be seriously worth more than just a couple of dollars. I want to sell them, but I need...

    Looking 4 South Jersey Dig Partners

    lets see if I can give you my email address. I'll break it up, since sometimes these sites do not let you give your email address out and will prevent you from doing so. It is edwarddilks 641 @ gmail . com just put it all together as one word.

    Looking 4 South Jersey Dig Partners

    Yes. I'm glad you replied. I was just giving up. I need someone to join me, all my friends are not really into it. Since it's been so dry here in Jersey, a few of our lakes and creeks have dried up. I was able to walk on the bed of this one creek, knowing that there are washed out soda bottles...
