Excellent, Thanks 143Tallboy!!!

Thanks for the info! Do you have any recommendations for an insulator guide book? I collect fruit jars so the Redbook is what I use as my main resource. Thanks! Ray

is this what you meant?

Thanks Harry!

any idea what would turn glass a peach color or pink? I have some Mid West fruit jars that have turned those subtle hues.

Hi there,

I just picked up an aqua coloured Insulator with an extra large base and an embossed rectangle - any maker, date and additional info would be much appreciated! Thanks, Ray

absolutely correct jarsnstuff! It is a Widemuth Adjutable jar ��

Always love picking up these reference books at a good price!!! I actually collect the Fire king Royal Ruby line of dinnerware and have always been on the lookout for the Royal Ruby beer bottle 😀

Is the 8 bubble 7-up really rare? I just saw an ad for one near me and the guy was asking $25 for it. Great condition. Value or not?

Just putting it out there again hoping someone can tell me more about this whisky flask. I can’t find anything referencing “Baronial” whisky by Hiram Walker anywhere. My research skills must be...

Thanks for sharing those pic’s as well Leon! I’ll keep my eye out for these bottles now and hopefully stumble upon a local label!

Nice to be able to apply some societal analysis on your finds ��. Look forward to seeing what else you find as you dig deeper with those Kevlar gloves!

Did a little digging and there was an Alexander Laundrie 1849 - 1930 who had a son also named Alexander Laundrie 1876 - 1947 from Rouses Point so that could cover A. Laundrie & Son. Maybe some more...

Thanks Leon! After looking at lots of pic’s online it totally looks like a picnic beer bottle. I did see pic’s of other picnic beer bottles with similar finishes so not just the crown tops. Too...

Great to have a honey hole that keeps offering up great pieces of history! How deep do you have to dive for this stuff?

Hi there, I picked this flask up at a local flea market today. I tried to find more info on this particular whisky and was wondering if anyone here had more info...

Thanks RCO! I also thought the look would fit the 20’s/30’s but didn’t Want to argue as she gave me a crazy good deal on everything I purchased. She says she has lots more in her out buildings......

Yes, this Arctic ACL is different from other Arctic ones I have seen. The person I bought had bottles from said the embossed Arctic is from 1908. I’ll dig up the history on this a little more.

Hi there,

A couple of the bottles that were pictured in this post made me think of a bottle I had just picked up. It is a slick amber bottle with an applied lip and I was hoping someone had an...

Thanks Glasshopper, definitely no coating of any sort. Just a good dusting.

Yes, JKL, I was definitely "forced" to buy these :)

I actually just missed a Zero Bottling Company Crate by minutes...

Thanks Bottle-Bud. I do have a wish list for a few of the extremely hard to find aerated water and Hutchinson Winnipeg bottles but I'm definitely happy with these...for now :)

I'll start digging...

Hi there, I just picked up some WINNIPEG bottles that I’ve been trying to find for awhile.

Finally picked up a Pelissier bottle! The shard you have would be older (Pelissier & Gobeil) than the bottle I have (Pelissier & Sons) but the trade mark Beaver is the same.189656189657189658

I love how you also paired up the bottles with their respective ads and “go alongs”!
