    Need some help

    A friend sent me these photos for my opinion. Judging only by the pictures I guess 1840's is safe enough but I'm also thinking American, it's the shape of decanter that makes me think that. If it's American it would almost certainly be from the New England I believe. What's the opinion here...

    Been a spell Update

    R.T. Lacy had a side business in Talleysville, Va. (New Kent, Co.) which was named Baltimore Store. I was told he choose this name because the majority of his goods were bought in Baltimore and brought down by river boat to White House Landing. Talleysville was once a small collection of houses...

    Confederate Mule Shoe

    My oldest son picked won this in a estate auction lot with a vase he wanted that he was bidding on. The lot cost him $60, he was happy with his vase and when he saw this and figured I'd enjoy it. My best guess is an insurance agent give away, don't know where it hailed from but the story on the...

    Common or better?

    Brass US Buckle

    Not sure what to say as the only thing I know for sure is it's brass, marked US and dug by a uncle who passed several years ago who dug it up while planting a vegatable garden. Which leaves age? Any ideas?

    Token / coin ?

    My son recently was given several WWII Nazi & German souvenirs from a WWII veterans estate. One piece has me really stumped in trying to ID it. It's a coin or token, about the size of a nickel, I believe it's made of steel. One side is German "GEBIET DES OBERBEFEHLSHABERS OST" according to one...

    What was the average life expectancy of bottle molds? I'm beginning research for my next small project.

    Project complete

    I finished my little project on the Buffalo Girls of Mecklenburg,County, Va. and hope it will be shared soon to anyone interested in the bottles. In my research I found a blurb that referenced Santa Anna was supposed to have once visited the Buffalo Lithia Springs Hotel (home to the bottled...

    It's the Lithia

    Kerr Lake / Buggs Island is where the old Buffalo Springs Hotel once sat before the Army Corps of engineers built Kerr Dam and flooded the area. http://www2.timesdispatch.com/sports/2011/jun/21/tdmain01-record-blue-catfish-caught-at-buggs-islan-ar-1121999/

    Would never have guessed

    I've been finding some great patent papers on different bottle closures closures, milk bottle tops and other bottle related items. Saw this and I would never have guessed right if someone had asked me.

    A great find

    There was an online estate auction a few days ago in a neighborhood that is trying hard not to give up the ghost to street drugs and all the destruction that comes along with that. I'm guessing the former owner cleaned houses for the city's better heeled society, the accumulation of life's...
