Not sure about this one but I am pretty sure I have dug a milk glass example in the past. Is there a side embossed milk glass bottle from this company? Any history would be appreciated.
I got this one at an estate sale for $1. it seems like a nice amber embossed bottle from Mass.
I decided to get out and do a little digging this morning. The weather is nice and cool now. I went out walking around looking for cellar holes in a very old town. I ended up in a ravine behind a bunch of late 1700-early1800 breadbox style homes. Almost everything I dug was broken & pontiled so...
The demolition crew came into that old farm home-site and started digging around the foundation. After they were done I picked these up. I have never seen either one so any help would be great. Thanks.
I had the chance to pick through an 1850s homestead scheduled for demolition and made these finds. There was more there, but these were the best. I was wondering if anyone could help me out as far as value on these. I found the iron pontiled demi in the basement and the other two in the attic...
Here are a few more I dug tonight from the same area where I got that pontil over the weekend. Most of the stuff is either unembossed or broken but these made it through.
I went out scouting over the weekend in an area where I have been finding a little here & there. I probed along a creek bank and was surprised when I started getting into some older glass. I was even more sirprised when this one popped out!
It is an open pontil W.F. LAWRENCE'S GENUINE...
Been out digging a few spots here and there. I tossed most of the stuff. Kept these 2 bottles though. They made it through my selective screening and I took them home.
One is a very rare local druggist. The other is a large size Bunker hill pickle in an attractive yellow amber color...
Well, I have not posted in a while. My Boss sent me to China to put together some solar furnaces for a week. I HATE CHINA! I did do some digging when I got back though :) I didn't get anything great but it still was fun to get out. Here are some pics.

I left work early today and stopped at an old dump me and my diggin buddy were finding some good milk bottles in. I dug a bunch of ABM crap and an unembossed milk before I saw what appeared to be an aqua, blown bottle start to emerge. I could not believe it when it turned out to be a pontiled...
I got this one in a lot of bottles I purchased a couple of months ago. I can't seem to find too much about it. It is embossed:
VEGETABLE PULMONARY BALSAM (front panel)
PROPRIETORS (side)
CUTLER BROS & CO BOSTON MASS (side)
The color is more of a light green than aqua. Thanks for any help.
I picked this one from a fellow digger for $20. It was badly stained but remained undamaged so I invested some time and tumbled it for 4 days with 1200 cutter, than another 4 days with Aluminum oxide. I must say, I am happy with the outcome. It was well worth the $20 investment!
Here it is...
I recently got this 2 gallon stenciled saloon jug for under $25. They are difficult to find at any price so I was happy to aquire this one at a very good price.
I have this German Bitters bottle I would like to sell. From what I understand it is a harder one to find but I will let you be the judge.
It is in about perfect shape with no damage, stain, or wear. It is 9 3/4" and embossed HERTRICHS BITTER//Einziger Fabrikant//HANS HERTRICH HOF//Gesetzlich...
I have noticed as of the past 12-18 months that antique bottle just are not getting what they used to get. Have any noticed the same. It seems that bottles that used to get $20-$40 hardly get $10 now? Even the pontil stuff seems to have lost its value? My only guess is that the bad economy has...
I got out to one of my old honey holes this past weekend. Dug a bunch of junk but also a few good ones. Does anyone know anything about the AGNEW'S CURE FOR THE HEART? I dug another one a long time ago and still have it. I can't seem to find any information about this bottle. Is it rare? Any...
I was out digging today and I dug this german bitter bottle. It says HERTRICHS BITTER EINZIGER FABRIKANT HANS HERTRICH HOF and some other jargen. The bottle is in good shape. Anyone seen this one before? Value? Is it rare? Thanks for any help.
