Pop! Pop! Pop!

It's not a bitters bottle it's a mineral water, the NJ squat you're interested is most likely not a NJ bottle based on my research, and no Newark brewers/bottlers have those initials...- epackage

A bunch of new Paterson N.J. additions....
We guesstimate is over 1000 glass bottles counting milks and meds, and over 350 stoneware jugs, bottles and crocks. My guess is I have around 850 bottles and about 280 stoneware pieces- epackage

A bunch of new Paterson N.J. additions....
Been a very fruitful year, I was able to have first pick of my mentors collection when he decided to stop collecting, so I didn't expect much the rest of the year. However I got very lucky with all my photos showing up on Google searches, I get 5-10 emails a week about Paterson bottles and...- epackage

Red Matthews R.I.P.
Very sad to find this out, Red was a wealth of knowledge when I first joined this site and was a friend who I interacted with in emails off site. I would give anything to have either of my own parents to have lived to 89, Godspeed Red, thank you for all you did to help the hobby- epackage

full Pint flask
Manganese will turn a bottle various shades of light pink/amethyst to dark purple depending on the amount used in the glass batch and how it is exposed to ultra violet light, nuking them, exposing them to things like commercial food sterilizers can turn them dark purple.

full Pint flask

Yet ANOTHER Paterson N.J. "only known" rarity...
Some of you may have heard thru the grapevine that I happen to collect Paterson N.J. stoneware, this LONG WINDED post is about my newest acquisition. Back in 2010, about a year after I started collecting glass bottles, I got my first Paterson stoneware jug thanks to my mentor giving me a call...- epackage

Paterson NJ collection growing by leaps and bounds!!
Except for some early meds the Archdeacon's are the only known pontiled soda/beer bottles. Bowden was known for his Cherry Beer, and this Only Known example appears to be for that product based on the color, once it's cleaned I'm having the lip repaired...- epackage
