    Recent Dig, 1st Post!

    I thought you might like to see some more examples of cool "smoking heads" from a local collection.

    Recent Dig, 1st Post!

    I believe your figurine is known to collectors as a "smoking head", which is a fanciful series of ashtrays, hence the holes in his head for the smoke to exit.

    Smyrna Delaware squat soda bottle

    Thanks for the info and offer soda bottle. I have now had some other people message an interest in it as well, but will not let it go until you have had a chance to see it in person Sunday. The bottle has some exterior cloudiness in the shoulder, neck, and blob area, but has no chips or cracks...

    Smyrna Delaware squat soda bottle

    Is anyone familiar with this TOY & O'NEIL / SMYRNA / DEL applied blob top soda bottle? It belongs to a friend of ours who would like to learn any company history and value estimates. He is looking to sell this bottle, and we will have it with us at our table this Sunday during the Baltimore...

    Crazy foundation finds

    This looks and sounds all too familiar to me. This past Christmas my wife was making sugar cookies with a similar pressed design, and I could not keep out of them while they cooled on the rack. She said if I did not leave them alone she would cut off my hand and bury it along a cookie in our...

    WOW Tim, Congratulations are in order !! One awesome early soda there, I love the long neck and tapered top, and also concur on the Baltimore glass house origins. Glad you got that one, as you never know if another chance will come your way on something rare like that. Cheers!

    Balto. bottles

    Hey Tim, thank you. I held onto the Roseberry soda for a while until I was sure it wasn't a Baltimore brewer or bottler. When I found out it was an Alexandria, VA bottle, I traded it to a Virginia collector for a couple Baltimore pontiled sodas. The Roseberry was almost surely blown in...

    Balto. bottles

    This is still the only yellow Sutton bottle known to exist in any condition. An old friend and fellow collector has the only puce example known, and the two are shown here in one of the side by side photos I took during one of my visits, when we studied and compared the two side by side. This...

    Balto. bottles

    Here is a photo of the 1 & 1/8†long crack in the neck. Whether it is an annealing crack there from the day it came out of the oven, or a result of being knocked up against a hard object later in it’s life we will never know, but there is no damage on the exterior to suspect impact, and it is...

    Balto. bottles

    I doubt the Sutton is a dug bottle, but do not know if it was and attic, crawlspace of wall pocket find? This pontil shot is one of the photos sent to me by the previous owner, and you can see the dust still residing in the bottom of the bottle when I was able to bring it home to my Baltimore...

    Balto. bottles

    For the next 13 years I kept my eye out for a yellow “TJ Sutton’s/ Mineral Water / Balt // Sâ€, and never heard tell of another, nor had a chance to see the one rumored to exist, in person. I had tried contacting this bottles previous owner on occasion, to see if I could get a photo of it...
