Gem Butter Jar 5 lbs

Folks, he can't ride a Honda very well. He had to lay it down a few years back just because a little ol' car pulled out in front of him. Poor baby!!! And I'm surprised he could find anything Saturday by himself. I had to work. Richard

Happy Birthday

Well, thanks, guys. I'm working this morning and then deer hunting later this afternoon and saving the bottles for tomorrow and I would dearly love to post a cobalt anything from the Fort tomorrow night. Of course, I'll have to find a pit for Gunsmoke again if he is to unearth something...

Roger, when you get out here to the Panhandle of Texas, Gunsmoke and I will take you digging. It's a great place to stretch your eyeballs. In fact, I think I can see a cobalt blue USA Hosp Dept glinting off the Rockies from here, although "smoke thinks it's green. Richard

Torpedo

Thanks Roger. I didn't know what the contents were. The round bottom makes sense now. I guess they are fairly common? This is a great forum. Richard

spitoon? bedpan?

Hello. I'm new to the forum and bottle collecting. These were found in a pit with fifteen USA Hospital Department bottles and other bottles. The big object is eight inches across, three and three-quarter inches tall. I assume it is pottery. Note the hole in the side and blue decorations...
