    repro lids

    Hello: I posted this in the repro forum as well. I hope that is OK. I can delete that one if need be. Anyway, I am wondering where I could obtain repro lids for old fruit jars. Is there anyone out there who makes and sells them?. I am looking for a C.F. Spencer jar lid. It has a metal...

    old wire bail Wood Brook, Plainsfield, NJ half pint milk

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I thought it would be kind of rare due to the wire bail and how thick the glass was. I accidentally sold it in a lot of cheaper bottles I had sitting around. It got mixed up in them. What was interesting is that it was found years ago around an old farm in Bedford Co...

    old wire bail Wood Brook, Plainsfield, NJ half pint milk

    Hello All: It has been a while since I have been on the site. I have recently began collecting a little here and there and remembered this site. I just want to relate a story, and maybe see if anyone else may have ran into another one like this. Sorry, no photo. Years ago, I found a half pint...

    very odd jug my father found years ago

    Wow, thanks for that. That makes sense. There are no markings on the base or otherwise. If it is only worth a few hundred dollars, I wouldn't think of selling it. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I have not been able to find out anything before this. Unfortunately, my father is no longer...

    very odd jug my father found years ago

    I have never been able to find out anything about this unusual jug. Does anyone have any idea where I may go to find out anything about it?. This jug was found in a barn 50-60 years ago hid amongst junk. It has been the subject of plenty of conversation and speculation over the years, but no...

    cool bottle I dug years back

    My house was built in 1956 by my father and grandfather. I suppose that is Atomic era. I never thought of that. Unfortunately, I have not had the kitchen redone. Very perspicacious of you.

    very odd jug my father found years ago

    No one knows much about this either, huh?. I am taking it to a Treasure Hunter's Roadshow that is in Cumberland, MD this Friday to see if I can get any info about it. I took it to one some years back and no one had a clue. Maybe it is folk art and worth a fortune, or maybe it's worthless....I...

    cool bottle I dug years back

    I will post the bottom picture in a few days. It is rather tedious to post a picture. I have to load them into a separate computer and then drop and drag the picture to the one I am working with because the old camera I have is not compatible with Vista. The bottom looks to be a ground pontil...

    Bedford, PA bottle show?.

    Wow, that was you?. We met at a show in Keyser, W.Va. That is where you showed me that bottle you have in the picture. My cousin knows a fellow that has a Borgman he found. It is horribly stained and last I heard he wanted $750 for it. This has been sometime back, so I do not know if he would...

    unknown Cumberland MD pontil marked medicine

    I am from close Cumberland and any bottle that old from Cumberland is generally very rare and worth a fair amount. Unfortunately, I have not seen this one before.

    cool bottle I dug years back

    I have moved my post to this subforum because it may get better coverage. Anyone have any ideas?. I found this in an old city dump around 30 years ago and have kept it ever since. I will delete the other so I do not double post. Could the Admin please delete the one I have in Unanswered...

    very odd jug my father found years ago

    Hi All: I have posted a photo of an odd jug my father acquired years back. I have heard several stories of what it is, but I know virtually nothing about it, except that it is old. Does anyone out there know anything about this?. Two stories I have heard: One is that it is an Earth Jug...

    Has anyone heard if there is going to be a show in Bedford, Pennsylvania this coming Sunday, October 11th?. They normally have it during the last Sunday of the Fall Foliage Festival.

    cool bottle I dug years ago

    Thanks for the replies. I used to be an avid bottle digger. That is when I found this. I have not been into it for a while. I found this site and thought it would be fun to get back into it a little. This bottle has a ground pontil and is 7 inches tall. I found this in an old city dump in...

    cool bottle I dug years ago

    Hi there: I am new to the forum and wanted to share something. I found this bottle about 30 years ago in an old dump in Cumberland, MD. The indentations you see in the glass are not embossed. That is, you can not feel them, but are an effect in the glass some how. I always wondered what it...
