    Is anyone near Burlington, North Carolina?

    Anyone near Elon North Carolina?

    Lesley, I just saw your post. Sorry it has taken so long. I'm doing a 2 mile creek walk near us in late summer, looking for antique bottles. I do not think this creek has been walked before. Would you be interested in going? Please email me at markballard072@gmail.com or text me at...

    Gibsonville NC W&J Bottling Works - anyone ever seen this?

    Oddly enough, I can't find any information on this bottle or the bottling works. It looks like the W&J is not embossed properly. It looks like the letter J is backwards??? Does anyone have any information about this bottle, or the age, or the company? Thanks in advance

    I have seen Haig's bottles before with the silver onlay, but never in a plain pattern like this. Does anyone know anything at all?

    Anyone near Elon North Carolina?

    I was wondering if anyone here is near Elon, North Carolina or not too far in NC. Ever since moving out to the country I've discovered a few small dumps, but would really like to go on an actual dig with someone. Let me know. Thanks

    What kind of Sir Robert Burnett bottle is this?

    Thank you so much for responding. Two questions. Would you say the glass stopper with cork is the original, or something someone put together to use with the bottle. Is the round, rough area on the bottom of the bottle a Ponti mark? I am new to this but it seems like that's where the iron bar...

    What kind of Sir Robert Burnett bottle is this?

    No matter where I look, I cannot find a square gin bottle example of this. Is it post or pre-1900? Notice the glass stopper with cork. Did that come from another bottle? I'm so confused about this bottle and would really like feedback from anyone. It "looks" hand-blown. Date?
