    stoppers

    Really like that walking stick Robby! Really neat way to re-purpose a beautiful old artifact. Good job!

    Man- O -Man! What a find, and I bet the find pales in comparison to the story behind it!

    What Happens to You’re Collection When You Die?

    I agree with Snigl. Most of the younger generations have no desire for collecting anything. I myself collect bottles, guns, knives, and coins pretty much in that order. I'm 61 so needless to say I have amassed a substantial amount of dollars in various safes and display cases. Since this is a...

    U.S.A. Hosp. Dept.

    Hey Sand, I remember in an earlier post in this thread, you said Tecumseh had a table with a lot of these U.S.A. bottles in different colors for sale down in Georgia. He is the gentleman I bought this last Cobalt pint from. He's a super nice fellow.

    U.S.A. Hosp. Dept.

    Hi Guys, just crossed another Hosp. Dept. bottle off my list. 6 1/2" Cobalt pint. Only got a few more on my bucket list before I croak and pass the glass to the next collector!

    Any point in keeping blank pre-1900 bottles?

    Hey Screwtop, would you like a few bottles from before 1890? I have a ton of them and they have a little provenance. They are from an Indian Wars era fort in the panhandle of Texas. This fort was in operation from 1875 to 1890. It's the same fort I dug all those U.S.A. Hosp. dept. bottles. Fort...

    Diggin' In Virginia - relic huntin' success

    Excellent digs screwtop! I know you had a blast! I am an avid relic hunter myself. That was what I was doing when I found my first bottle. I guess one hobby kinda goes with the other.

    1st good find of the year!

    That's a very cool bottle! I agree with Canadian bottles. Most are much more plain. It's in great shape too. Freshwater dive?

    U.S.A. Hosp. Dept.

    Thanks guys! I love these Hosp. bottles. Glad ya'll like them too. Jim they are a scarce bird. Our old friend RICKJJ59W had one years ago and I kept hounding him about it. Said it was the only Hosp. Dept. bottle that he ever dug as I recall. He use to show it to me from time to time just to...
