    Another unknown button

    Alright, I'm completely stumped this time. This button came from the same home site. It's got no markings except a flower and a pattern on the edges around the flower. It's smaller than a dime (penny shown) and has a broken shank. The shank almost looks hand applied, but as you can all probably...

    Boy Scouts Button???

    I made this find today with my Garret AT Pro. I'm thinking it's a boy scout button, but I'm not really sure. It's a little bit bigger than a quarter and there is a hole in the back where I'm thinking a shank or loop would go. The only markings are the bear and design on the front. Could anyone...

    Horseshoe help

    I found this horseshoe metal detecting today and have never seen anything like this. I googled antique horseshoes, and saw one like this in a lot on Ebay and in a picture of a Rare Horseshoe stand at a show. That was all though. Anyone know how to date these or know the date of this specific...

    Revisiting Christmas

    Yesterday, I went back to the guy whom I bought all my Christmas bottles from. The trip was just as satisfying as last time, but my wallet wasn't happy. [:D][:D][:D] Anyways, I'm just going to do names and photos, but if anyone wants any more information or more photos on a particular one, feel...

    Hutches and Stoneware and more! OH MY!!

    Well, today was Christams for us due to circumstances that couldn't be stopped. I got tons of bottles! I also got a book, "Dig those Chicago Bottles!". I've just looked through the pictures and saw quite a few bottles I already have. Well, to make this short and simple, I'll just write the name...

    Been a while

    It's been a while since I posted, but I finally got some new bottles. First is an "Eno's Fruit Salt" for $2. I got this because I liked the name and the top was interesting, mainly because the seam doesn't extend through and... yeah, that was mainly it.[:D] I also got a round bottom "Ross's...

    Dr (. and no.) Pepper varieties!

    Well, I saw this Dr. Pepper, and it looked strange to me, so I bought. I came home and compared it to my other Dr. Pepper and was surprised to see how neat the new Dr. Pepper's debossing was. I looked on the back and saw that the 6 1/2 ounces was in a different spot too. The new one's base has...

    Extra Ham for Thanksgiving

    (Even though we had turkey.) Anyways, it's been about a month since I've really done anything bottle-related. I got something yesterday though. I've had this one before (got it this summer), but there was damage (got it for Free this summer), so I found a replacement. I also got another...

    Squirt bottle

    I was given this squirt bottle and I can't find one like it. It looks just like the yellow splat design with the red lettering, except mine has black lettering. It was dug so all of the back acl is gone except when it glares in the sun. I can't find one on the web. If it helps, it is from...

    Antique Emporium

    I stopped by an Antique emporium that had a total of 4 floors and found these bottles. First, I got another G.F. Reimer's (all the way to the left) to match my other 2. The last varient I need is the Hutchinson and then I'll have a complete set.[:)] Then I got a 7UP from Chicago, which is a...

    HOLY GRAIL

    It's been a while since I've been able to visit the forum and do some bottling, but I stopped at a garage sale today, and in my opinion hit the holy grail. First, I got a Chicago consolidated crown to match my hutch. I traded my friend for it, this was not from the garage sale The garage...

    What in the world is THIS???????

    I have no clue what this is, which is why I bought it at an antiques store. It's got a nice color and a Double Collar top (I think).There are no seams anywhere, but there is a ring going around the shoulder and another ring about an inch below that one. Under these rings, there are swirls, but...

    What is this? is it fake or real?

    I got this interesting bottle. I really don't know what to describe it as, so I'll let the pics do the talking. Is this real and what would it have been? Thanks for all your help, it is greatly appreciated. Top looks machine made, but the seams don't match up. The Lightning stopper also goes...

    Birthday Buys

    With my birthday being tomorrow, I decided to go to the flea market and got these nice bottles. I got an Oellrich & Korn. I found a shard of this bottle before while I was walking the river before. I didn't get the full name on the shard because it was only "oellrich", but now that I look it up...
