Red Rock BIM Bottle
I'm unsure if this will ever find you since your original post was 11 or 12 years ago. But I'm cleaning out my extensive collection as my years are diminishing and don't want to leave a total mess for my wife and kids to sort through. Just now opened a box and in it was an SCA example from The...- Tony Kendzior

Dug a Slug plate Pepsi
Mine is not a slug plate Pepsi like yours. But it is old and was dug by me in St. Augustine in a dump along the coastal waterway in about 1965.- Tony Kendzior

Help with finding a bottle tumbler
Hello - I've been a member here since 2015. I'm in my 80's with a collection of bottles I've dug or found since the 1960's. I want to purchase a reasonably priced bottle tumbler before I attempt to sell off my collection. Can somebody make a recommendation please? Thanks.- Tony Kendzior

Help finding a tumbler machine
I've been a member here for a few years. My family has persuaded me to rid the garage of dozens of boxes full of bottles I've dug here and there since the 1960's. Many from St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Savannah and Charleston. I need to buy a tumbling machine and supplies to clean them up in...- Tony Kendzior

Hunyadi Janos mineral water
I have some I found but this is the one I have on my display shelf... I suspect I traded for it some 50 years ago.- Tony Kendzior

Question about digging a privy
Some 50 years ago I was digging behind an abandoned house near downtown Charleston. Dug in the corner where I assumed the privy was and found lots of good stuff. When it was empty, I started by removing some of the bricks to the side thinking the next house over might have had a privy there...- Tony Kendzior

Cleaning out a shelf of stuff - should I throw these out?
My days on the planet are numbered. One day yours will be too. Which means what will happen to these bottles when our survivors have to clean out the garage/basement etc.? If you have room, put them is a box with a note to whomever what to do with them. If you don't have room or a desire to...- Tony Kendzior

"FLORIDA WATER" bottle collection liquidation announcement
Your computer is probably automatically creating the file as a .docx file. You can override this with a "save as" command where you will find a "doc" option. Try this and it may upload OK.- Tony Kendzior

Digging in the dump of an old farmhouse
If you're interested in dating bottles you fine, know that the color of the one on the left is sun colored amythist. My understanding is the glass included magnesium to make it clear. It became scarce during WW1. It caused glass makes to find another way to turn glass clear. So sun colored...- Tony Kendzior

St. Patrick’s Day Sodas
I don't have any truly "Irish" green bottles, but perhaps the closest is this Charles Gulden jar. I dug it in St. Augustine, maybe in 1970.- Tony Kendzior

need your advice
Some 50 years ago I visited Charleston, SC looking for bottles. In the old part of town there were some abandoned houses, some torn down, some simply vacant and decaying. I went to the back yards and started digging and probing in the back yard corners. I found mostly privies and brought home...- Tony Kendzior

Searching an old gas station/country store and its privy.
I agree with all said above except avoiding the privy. When finding an old homestead in the woods, I always look for the privy. After many years the organic deposits are long gone and I've found coins and bottles in them, some probably by accident, or bottles to rid the depositor of evidence...- Tony Kendzior

Went shopping on Black Friday and found two very old, yet surprisingly inexpensive bottles. Need help with narrowing down their date range
It made me think of a mineral water bottle from the late 1800's. The letter K sort of conforms to this one I found years ago.- Tony Kendzior
