Aqua Glass Battery Help?
A friend of mine found this beautiful battery (the picture doesn't do it justice), and she can't find much info about the company that made it, what it was used for, the approximate date, and/or any collectible value (though she wouldn't sell it anyway).

Will Bleach Hurt Hutch Rubber Stopper?
I dive for my bottles, and usually just put a couple cups of bleach into a pail of water & let the bottles soak for a couple weeks to get the algae out. But this one is an aqua Hutch from Benson Bottling Co., Minneapolis, circa 1893-1902, I think, and the rubber stopper is in really good...- ronvae2

It has seams that stop at the shoulder-rings, lots of seed bubbles, and one large bubble. It says: "6 FLUID OZ.". What in...- ronvae2

Bottle Funeral....
My computer locked itself out of this site for no good reason, so I finally snuck back with a new email ID. We've been bottle diving every week since 4/1, but haven't found all that much. Today, I found an applied top ale, or whiskey, no markings, and I think it's "black glass", but after it's...- ronvae2
