    Lake Erie #1

    Nothing to add directly related to dating the bottle but I have dug a few just like it from a spot where everything that can be dated is 1880s to 1920. Heavier on the turn of the century stuff though, 1900 ish.

    Williams Magnetic Relief

    Can anyone tell me about this product? I know the bottles are fairly common. I just want to know what was in it, what it claimed to do and when it was around.

    Clay tobacco pipe

    Nice. Can't make out the thorn looking thingie on the side but the front looks like a tobacco leaf.

    New England Antique Bottle Club 52nd Annual Show & Sale

    I won't make the show but I just happened to have lunch in Dover yesterday, for the first time. Very cool little town with a bunch of restaurants and pubs and stuff to do. There is also a river running through the old mill town with a shore line covered in old bricks and the odd bottle shard. I...

    My Clay spot

    Well the value is the coolness with it was acquired. I bet it will make a nice display. I bet there's a good, or not so good maybe, story about about how it got there. I can never help thinking about the last guy to use an artifact, whether it's a bottle, fishing gear or arrowhead.

    My Clay spot

    Great stories and amazing bottles. Any markings on the reel?

    First Dive and Finds 2018

    Awesome stuff. Look forward to your posts. They are even cooler because you are diving in rivers I'm not far from. Question; do you ever go back and explore the bank when you find good stuff? Im guessing some bank side dumps must expose themselves on the river bottom.

    First Dive and Finds 2018

    Very cool. You inspire me. I won't be doing any winter diving but I'm a fisherman who is on the water all the time including coastal areas. I don't hardly have to change my habits to look for bottles - I'm already out there. I don't like digging much (i work in utilities) so I have already...

    A.D. Richmond New Bedford ... Spittoon??

    New Bedford location and a business that closed in 1870s strongly suggest a whaling connection. I'd guess a ship board item associated with rendering blubber or at least a lamp that used whale oil?

    Phalon & Son's Perfumers round bottle, tell me about this bottle

    Thanks. I forgot about this post already. Cool little bottle, surprised how thin the glass is. I wish it wasn't so cloudy

    N.Y. bottle mark question

    I just dug the same one recently. Can't help you much but you may not get much else here. This forum isn't too active. Good stuff when you can get it, but not much of it.

    PEPSI or BRADY Bottles from PEORIA, IL (WANTED)

    Good luck with your search. Be interesting to hear more. I'm very interested in the bottling business in general now that I work in it myself. So many old, some tiny obscure local bottlers out there.

    Phalon & Son's Perfumers round bottle, tell me about this bottle

    I did enough research to know Phalon and Son's are common enough and the general age range. I didn't see any round ones in my image search. Are these less common? Would love if someone could date this and walk me through the process. I have my ideas but want to check. This bottle was...

    Still finding them at the stream

    Only had short time today. Instead of digging in the gravel bank, I just went up the opposite shore and double checked areas I'd already been over. The brook has risen and fallen several times since last trip. This time I focused on the steep bank, the spaces between the rocks and under brush...
