Have You Dug Your Home's Privy?

Mines covered over by a garage now....shame how when I was young, I was pulling bricks out of this sink-hole in the ground wondering what was going on [:@]

new additions from the weekend #2

Good to see another Salem County digger around here! Where are you located? Maybe we could talk bottles sometime. I've got the more common Robinson in aqua and have dug pieces of that green squat. Sure has a nice color to it...

My Collection (looking for pricing info)

We all have to start somewhere...I know I was pulling in stuff like this thinking I had a gold mine too. It's everyone's dream to have rookie's luck and most of the time it's the opposite [:)] I still have my Rolling Rock NDNR around here somewhere. I don't think I have the heart to throw it...

"Vaseline" Chesebrough New York

I've got at least five or six in boxes of junk bottles I'll probably sell at my next yard sale or give as gifts. It's definitely not worth the $11 price tag though to be brutally honest...

Can you dig a house?

Probably will let in a lot more natural light....bye bye electric bills [;)] I've seen one or two houses with bottle walls in the boonies of PA but never one totally made out of them. Sure must be interesting to think how careful you've gotta be even walking through the rooms.

found in my hoard of minis

I love labelled stuff no matter what the contents from the era! They always put some sort of pride into their printing and I love the ones with mini-murals on them almost! They sure are neat; lucky you for digging up your stock of them!

Storm Damage...

The storm was godly to say the least...I went out in the woods yesterday....yikes. The river has completely changed its course. It used to flow straight but five or six trees were ripped out of the ground and created islands in it diverting it elsewhere. Sad to say there were no...

lantern restoration

Looks like it's coming out pretty good! Your best bet certainly was the soda water. Something that fragile would probably fall apart in a chemical bath so it looks like you did good. Can't wait to see the final product! Looks really awesome especially the globe too. It's amazing how you were...

odd discovery's

Strangest thing's probably this old hotel key for room 1230 from Philadelphia. The Bellvue Stratford. It's odd how this kind of stuff gets into people's garbage...

Flood update for Jersey....

Glad to hear you're alright Jim. Good to know you're putting things back together and staying positive as well. This fine old world just keeps spinning around with or without us I guess [;)]

Spring Garden Glassworks

Awesome flask! I love the banners on this one. The anchor looks Baltimore-ish; is this from the same area?

S. B. Goff Oil Liniment NJ

No problem, if anything I'd date your bottle from the late 1870s to early 1900s. I think the normal Oil Liniment was changed over to Magic Oil Liniment around 1900 so I think it'd be safe to say around that time frame.

S. B. Goff Oil Liniment NJ

Mr. Goff was a prolific distributor of medical products during the turn of the century. I have one of his more common cough syrups. Here's a bit from the Smithsonian, on the package of his "Magic Oil Liniment":; "For rheumatism, neuralgia, toothache, earache, stiffness in the joints...
