So fake it's not even funny...
judging by his prissy manicured nails, this guy has probably never dug a bottle in his life. Nothing will give guys like this any guilt. He has no conscience or moral compass, and he will continue as long as folks are dumb enough to buy his unbelievable fake junk. He probably buys his own items...- farmerdan

crown cork and seal slug plate quart milk - rare?
Here is a view of the base. Embossed T Mfg. co. 11. I believe that's Thatcher Manufacturing Co. and the 11 is probably a mold number. I will have to take another pic in natural light - these photos don't do it justice. It is by far the deepest, most vibrant SCA bottle I have ever found.- farmerdan

crown cork and seal slug plate quart milk - rare?
Several months ago while cleaning up litter at a local beach, I discovered this incredibly deep SCA milk quart in a mussel bed at low tide. The side of the bottle was exposed and from the looks of it the little beauty had been sunning itself in the shallows for the last century. The slug plate...- farmerdan

Old, Really Old, Ancient, what the heck is it?
The day this was posted, I was in Manhattan at the Pompeii exhibit, eyeballing some beautiful 1st century Roman glass. Unbelievable exhibit - if you have the opportunity to visit NYC, I highly recommend it! Anyhows....this was the feeling I get from this piece. Wow - I would love to own...- farmerdan

PIN MONEY
When I was a kid my best buddy had one of those - the 16 oz with the flared lip. I think it came out of the big ol' brick cistern we (partially) dug out. It was on the grounds of the Gillette (razor blade fame) house estate. Ton of stuff came outta that pit! Too bad the 'dozers got there before...- farmerdan

bottles from a dig site
Looks like you're in for a good time! Have fun and post your finds! The bottles will likely get older as you go deeper, so dig deep! Good luck! Farmer- farmerdan

Dug a privy got a rock
Just out of curiosity Rick, which came out first - the slick or the rock? I'm a firm believer in things evening out eventually: therefore I predict a good payout for you in the near future. Perhaps a Historical flask in some outlandish color.......[;)] Better luck next time! -Farmer- farmerdan

Crystal Spring Gallon Blob
Note the difference in color - the last photo was taken in artificial light and the first two in natural. I would call the actual color just your normal aqua - maybe just a little more towards the blue range. Glad to have sparked some interest with this one! Farmer btw John, Those old...- farmerdan

Crystal Spring Gallon Blob
Ok well at this point in time, the rubber seal has everything pretty well fused together, so I measured the exterior volume by using a water displacement method. The 1 gallon plastic jug displaced slightly more than 2 pints more than the bottle when submerged to the waterline. Subtract the...- farmerdan

Crystal Spring Gallon Blob
Just a mold # on the bottom. 94 and its underlined. The numerals are about 3/4" tall. The style reminds me of a putnam fruit jar. You may be right, it might be 6 pints. I will post a base pic later on tonight. I will also try to open the bail to measure the volume but if it's being stubborn i...- farmerdan
