I don't know if anyone had seen this on the local news, but there was a major archaelogical excavation of the Dyottville Glassworks location, which was in the path of a proposed highway.
Archaelogical dig

Since my interest is basically 1860's, these are not items that I would want to keep. I found them digging a garden in my back yard.
Any idea of the value, if any?
I am looking for ANY Wells, Miller & Provost bottles or jars in any condition (chipped, dirty or partially broken), as long as a good portion is still there. It can be in pieces, as long as it can be reassembled.
Looking to sell or trade the enclosed eagle/shaking hands flask. I am asking $60 but would also consider any pre-1864 glass in trade, even if the item is broken or in less than optimal condition.
I am looking for any bottles or tin cans from the Wells, Miller & Provost Company. Condition is not that important, but more complete the better.

I am looking for good documented pre-1865 blob sodas and torpedoes. I am also looking for Well's, Marshall and Provost Cathedral.
Condition is not critical, just good solid examples.

I am looking for the enclosed inkwell with the the patent date on the top.
Condition is not that critical. Please feel free to contact me at nick@njsekela.com if anyone has any ideas where I might be able to begin looking.
