Keene show grabs & more! (pic heavy)
I'm just gonna nonchalantly show off some stuff I got at the Keene show this year, along with some stuff I acquired over the summer. Common sample-sized Polar Star Cough Cure, a snap-case J.L. Hunnewell Tolu Anodyne I got for an absolute steal of a price, and an unusual bottle marked "Macmahan's...- Blackglass

I actually went digging...
... For the first time in a while. Well, I'd call it more of a "hunting around" adventure than a digging one. Anyhow, I went exploring some steep embankments behind some houses yesterday and today. Yesterday, I didn't bring my camera, so I don't have any of what happened photo documented. I...- Blackglass

Dover Bottle Show Pick-Ups
Had a great time at the show, nice to be back after missing it last year. Some amazing bottles there (Most of which out of my price range). :^) 3 more common meds I didn't have. Hagan's Magnolia Balm, H.T. Hembold's Genuine Fluid Extracts (Snap-case), and X-Zalia with the cattails. A common...- Blackglass

Wallace & Tiernan Co. Chloro-Meter multi-gallon water disinfectant bottle
I went to a local auction last week and saw this there. Now, this particular auction is notorious, at least for me, for having consistently garbage bottles that come up on the block. Well, not that night, and I was excited to see something at least a little interesting. It's rather tall, BIM...- Blackglass

Last couple of months AND I'M BEING A SHOW OFF
Hey yeah so, I'm bored and feel like showing off several okay acquisitions from the last couple of months. Why not? It's been rather slow bottle collecting wise for me these days, mostly due to the bad weather not permitting me to get out of the house and my 2 jobs cutting me off from hitting...- Blackglass

St Drakes
Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know I have a few bottles up on Ebay. I have a beautiful 4-log ST Drakes, a damaged 6 log St Drakes, and some English soda of some kind. Just thought I'd post it here in case any of you are looking for something like those! I also will be listing an unlisted...- Blackglass

Sharp & Dohme in cobalt
I have no knowledge of poisons at all, so I'm hoping one of you more educated people can help me with this one :) Is this common like I believe it is or is it anything special? 2 1/4'' X 1 1/2 at it's widest point. The back side is round. Hand blown. Thanks in advance! (Sorry about the...- Blackglass

Sample Water
Hello everyone, I haven't logged in and posted in a long while. I still collect quite avidly, I just took a break from this forum for reasons unknown to even me :) Anyhow, I finally found something I think is good after months of nothing, I got this group: Some pontiled puffs, a poison...- Blackglass

Bottles at the Boston Museum of Science
Did I choose a lucky day to go! They had a large display of finds that the Odyessey has brought up from shipwrecks. Among the many rare items that were brought up, they had a display of their best bottle finds. Here's a few pics: World's Hair Restorer Pheonix bitters A couple of...- Blackglass

Strange scissor-like thing
I found a bag full of old barber and manicure scissors at a local thrift store. This was in with the bunch, any idea what it is? It's about 4 inches long, Wood handled, the blades are not sharp, the bottom one has a groove down the center for the upper one to rest in, no makers mark, appears to...- Blackglass

Broke the Chain
Well, after years of not getting a good bottle at a flea, I am happy to say I made out pretty good for the first time ever yesterday. First is a group of commons, paid $1 for all three. Foley's and 2 Sanford's, 1 of which is a variant I do not own. The other is going to go to the antique...- Blackglass

Keene show finds and more
Had a great time at the Keene show this year, even though I couldn't locate any of the other members who said they were coming lol. Come to think of it actually, I'm almost positive I saw Bottle r LEET and his father... Anyhow, here is what I found at the show... A Goddard (Or Coddard?)...- Blackglass

1000 Newspapers
I was given these a few days ago by the local historical society. It was for me or they would have went to the town dump. Most of them are of the local paper of my town, "The Bristol Enterprise", dating from about 1916-1980, but I (oddly enough) have about 40-50 papers from the 1st 3 volumes...- Blackglass

Modern mentality?
Hi guys, I haven't been on for a while, but something happened today which pushed me into making this thread. Wanting to kill some time, I decided to stop into a new antique store today. I said good-morning to the owner and looked around for a bit. I was with my brother, and we were chatting...- Blackglass

Crossing my fingers on this BiXby...
I found this at a local antique store. It was with a whole bunch of inks/polishes, mostly bixby. I know a lot of Bixby's are common, I'm wondering if one in this color is desirable. All the bottles for sale were $10, was that a good price? There were also a few amber bixby's and a real unusual...- Blackglass

Rheumatic Bullet
Got this weird one at the New England bottle show. Anybody ever hear of it? I guess the shape of the bottle is supposed to resemble a bullet, but... I guess they had a lot of imagination back then! I also got this neat pontiled Paris Perfumers bottle, which I think was a steal for $5... I...- Blackglass

Johns' Digestive... Not familiar with this one...
Anyone ever heard of this? When I first saw it I thought it was a common I hadn't heard of, but I can't find any form of information on it at all. It's BIM and reads "JOHNS' DIGESTIVE". Base is unmarked. Thanks! ``Michael- Blackglass

Good month so far...
After a bit of a dry spell I'm glad to have picked up a few nice new additions in the last week. First is a common Ayer's Sarsaparilla, but with some rather unusual features. The lip seems awfully compact... Never seen a base quite like this. Any thoughts? Next is a Otis. S. Neale...- Blackglass

Wut?
I Thought it would be funny to post this and see what everyone has to say about this. I found this common Larkin bottle on the river shore after a major flooding last summer. It has most of it's original contents, so I decided it was worth putting on the shelf. Well, several months have passed...- Blackglass
