Great bottle...maybe you can get a reproduction sticker made...place it on your bottle and sell it for $1,300. I bet you that bottle is worth $500. as-is purplish. Great find.
I sure do like looking at everyone's special bottle collection and what individuals are collecting. We all are a strange group of people...myself included....people would laugh at what I'm collecting. I only collect Sand Bank N.Y. blob-top soda bottles....and they're getting really difficult to...
Scott, even though you disappeared from the face of the Earth...permit me to answer your questions on "William March". There wasn't a person called William March in Sand Bank N.Y.. Here's the briefing on Sand Bank Bottles:
W. M. & B. CO. / SAND BANK, N. Y.
W.M. Rich / Wilbert Barnes

Most of the smart old-time hoarders-burying their silver, long before metal detectors...usually put them in pottery-crock pots or wide mouth glass jars...as they knew the steel-metal cans would not last in the ground and coins would not be keep clean and together. That hoard of gold coins found...
Was hunting in 1970 to 75 in upstate N.Y....every colonial to 1890's home standing or gone had a place where they dumped their household used-up steel and glass...from their wagons. Usually right off the side of the road and usually in gullies in and near rock-lined fences. Farming was...
Yes Leon Thank you, i saw that after the fact...I did private message him yesterday too. If anyone can find him and link him to me...i'll provide a finder's fee. I REALLY NEED his bottles. Hopefully he'll part with them...after spending 40 years seaching for them.
I would put them back in the hole too...but we must remember...to a serious collector that likes these moderned common machine-made clorox bottles...that would be their passion and delight. Bottles don't need to be rare to be desired. It's not about the value...it's the chase and buying when you...
Back in the late 80's early 90's we went to a few of these storage unit sales...long before THEY became HOT...I always bid $13.13 and won almost all I bid on. I was very careful about what i bid on...BECAUSE you became the responsible party to clean them out completely and sweep them. Back then...
Wow, I'm amazed at the beauty and colors of your collection. You wouldn't happen to have a "Sand Bank N.Y." Blob top in your collection? I could pay you a princely sum. How big a number? Big!
I found about 20 of them when i was a boy in Upstate N.Y., all different cool colors too...every one had the neck/top broke off. It's just life...how it rolls.
I have a theory that men riding on their wagons....use to strong arm iron pontils with aim....to try shatter it and something else...
Good insights on a newbie to this forum. I'm here only for Sand Bank N.Y. bottles. To answer your questions...it's state land, not private, easy access, quiet comfortable place where you can even bring your fishing gear and fish the small brook trout there (i did and cooked up trout)...and...
Hello Everyone,
I’ll introduce myself and then described the two missions I need your help with.
I’m Mark Larson, born in Watertown N.Y. in 1963, I’m 60. I lived in Mannsville N.Y. for the first 15 years of my life. When I was 8 to 12 years old I was digging old blue bottles out of numerous...
