Weird square necked bottle

Hello again[:)] Sorry I don't get here as often as I would like to, and wish I had more experience so I could also offer advice to other newbies such as myself. Instead I only have questions for now. I know a lot more about cactus than I do bottles. Anyway, to the point. I purchased this...

Lovely puce colored what is it bottle

Hi all [:)] I acquired this 6" tall octagon shaped bottle on E-bay convinced it was a reproduction of something. I really didn't care because of the lovely puce color. But now I'm not so sure it is a reproduction of something. For one thing it has no markings whatsoever.Why reproduce...

Double Scroll Flask

I'm considering bidding on a double scroll historical flask on E-bay. It is supposably part of the Judge MacKenzie collection, which I have determined is valid according to some preliminary research. There actually was a Judge Mackensie and he did collect antique bottles...

Digging in PA

Hello [:)] I'm a newbie here but not a newbie to collecting bottles. My mother got me into it when I was about 12 or 13, that was back in the 1970's. I thought I would share a story about a dump we found when I was just a kid, that turned out to be a treasure trove. I grew up in eastern...

First time here

Hi all [:)] I'm not at all new to collecting antiques bottles. Lets just say there has been a long hiatus. I got into it as a teen in the 1970's and visited many cool dump sites with my family, including one in my home state of Pennsylvania, the dump of an abandoned hill top hotel that had...
