Hi Collectors! I purchased this in RI and think it is the oldest piece I've ever found at a resale shop. It's free blown, sand base, rolled and gorgeous! I think it's a New Jersey piece, but any info. is appreciated. Happy Hunting!
I finally hit a spot old enough to find some amazing pontiled bottles. I've attached pics of an Eagle with Banner half pint, a Beard's Mineral water, and a Dyotteville Glass Works Cylinder, all dug in Boston, MA. Never give up!
Hi fellow diggers! I haven't posted for a while but I am back actively digging. I found this chunk of Codd( sorry, pics are not good) and brought it home for research. It says "H. Codd & Co. 25 Park Row", and I think the missing part said "Patented USA 1878". It also has No.72 in a star. I can't...
I'm an experienced digger, ready to get down and dirty. Pre 1900 digs preferred. Can travel most of New England, free until 4/27. Any weather, anywhere!
I bought this recently, repaired a crack with resin and scrubbed out the petrified Madeira. 20" tall. No pontil, the base has a dent base made with a paddle.
I adore it.
Hello all, it's been too long. I bought this molded pottery jug because it was something I haven't seen before. It has a seam, so it was molded. It is 8 1/2" tall, and cobalt blue. But the base is the interesting part. There is a depression underneath, for what I don't know. There are two...
Hi, I am on my way to London this evening. If anyone has a spot to dig near there from 8/3-8/7, let me know! I will reward you with a bottle from the states!

Hi, I am in Boston, and ready to dig! If you have a spot that's pre 1900, I would love to check it out. I am available 8/9-12, 25-31st, and 9/1-5 if you are doing any digging during that time let me know. I would reward you handsomely! Or just buy you a beer.

Hi Y'all, long time no post. I bought a piece recently with a pontil I don't recognize. It has a center "post" hole, or perhaps the pontil is just very thin and was pushed deeper into the gather? The center depression is just over 1/4 inches. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello! Long time no post. Here is one I picked up at a shop (usually I am a digger- they find me even when I am not digging!)I think it's Flint glass, 7 chambers, fired pontil, engraved with laurel and I.M. There are no seams, lots of inclusions, and the lip is fairly crude and applied. I've...
Just listed this on Ebay for all you Owl and Western Druggists collectors. I listed a couple other items, also. Link is below. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221432883645?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Harry
[attachment=DSC00692.JPG] This is the second one of these I have found in my storage unit, from other digs. Any help identifying it would be appreciated. I think the mark is a bird, and M W, but not sure of the bird part. Help a digger out!
[attachment=DSC00687.JPG] Hello All! I was cleaning out the storage and came across this one I kept for research. It is etched E-P-S-W and SF on the shoulder. I found an EP soda works in Hawaii, and wondered if it was the same company. Any help would be appreciated.
Good job gentlemen! Here is a link to a whole one on EBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-G-GUNTHER-Bird-Cage-Feeder-Drinker-Tin-Hook-Glass-Cup-/261159948201?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cce588fa9. Harry
