Wood Stove Parts

Thanks for the help! I will check some of the doors I found next time I go digging and see if they have a fancy design or nameplate.

Wood Stove Parts

I have found several pieces of 1920's woodstoves such as legs, doors, etc. Is there any market for stuff like that out there? Are they worth taking home and reselling?

Silver Foam Ginger Ale, Sudbury Brewing and Malting Company 22oz

Ah, thank you! I missed the portion about the inverted triangle when I skimmed through that website lol. I was digging last night and I found an intact 7oz Silver Foam bottle. Unfortunately I had also found the broken bases of 3 others as well as an intact one completely warped from a trash fire.

Silver Foam Ginger Ale, Sudbury Brewing and Malting Company 22oz

I looked at the bottom this morning and I remember it said "Bottle Made in Canada" but I don't remember if it had other marks or not.

Silver Foam Ginger Ale, Sudbury Brewing and Malting Company 22oz

I picked up this nice local bottle off ebay this week. I've found bits and pieces of this bottle at my dig site but never a whole example, so I figured I would grab the chance to get one in excellent shape. As for dating I would put this one in the 1950s or possibly the 1960s, I know at some...

Today at the Flea

Very nice insulators. I don't know a whole lot about them but telegraph one is interesting. It looks skinnier than similar ones I've seen. When I get to work tomorrow I will check the museum database and see if we have any similar telegraph insulators.

Here are 2 more images of condiment jar

Is there any embossing on the bottom? Just a guess but my first thought was a barrel mustard jar or something similar.

Canadian National Railways Super Continental Coffee Cup

Yes, both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific put their logo on most of their items. I have several newer (1980s) pieces of CNR flatware, however they are from Cabooses so they are not as ornate. I found another one the other day that is in 95% perfect condition except for a small chip in the...

Wedding Boquet Rye Flask Omaha, Neb.

Perhaps the misspelling was intentional to save on adding letters to the embossing?
