    Nice Ketchup !

    I don't usually keep ketchups but this one caught my fancy. I'm calling it my 'transistional' ketchup because it has elements of BIM and ABM. I don't recall seeing one with such a pronounced area set aside for the paper label; and I love the size of the 'threads' for the cap. There's a...

    Erts Bros Poughkeepsie

    I'm reposting this bottle in hopes that one of the new members may have come across it. Very crude slug plate? soda/beer / slag in the glass, striations in neck, whittle and more. I'm intrigued by this one because it seems to crude for it's apparent age.

    Not your ordinary finds.

    Coke with Pepsi in it bottle

    Did any of you happen to see the coke bottle the guy has up for auction on e-bay with a starting price of $100,000? He claims it was bottled in 1980-82 at a plant that has since closed of course. Supposedly, the bottle was sent down the wrong line, filled with Pepsi and topped off with a Pepsi...

    Potential Maine Privy Dig

    Calling all Maine diggers! Just over the town line (Westbrook) on Warren Ave there is a early 1800s farmhouse with intact attached barn. Development is encroaching on it from all sides, I think it's only a matter of time when it'll be lost to a big box store (Home D is 1/2 mile away) Everytime...

    Alternative to Tumbling or Busted?

    I was visiting the home office of the company I work for and they were showing off a new piece of equipment used to clean the inner clockworks of fire alarm masterboxes. It's an immersion sytem that uses sonics and detergent; the inner workings of some of the clockworks have glass plates...

    Any Idea What This Is!!!

    I first posted this last year, so my apologies to those who already viewed it[:)] There's a lot of new Forum members, so I decided to take advantage, perhaps one of the new folks has an idea what this is/used for. It was found in a dump used between 1820 - 1910ish. It is 4'' tall overall, the...

    Frog ornament

    Last month I told you folks about the 1900 - 30ish site I was digging. I pulled a lot of interesting, if not terribly valuable, items out of the banking. From a citron green 6'' depression glass salt shaker to a 3-foot diameter glazed ornamental landscaping ring made by Portland Marble co...

    Bottle Going Home!

    I thought I would share this experience with you..Some may remember the Beacon Beverages soda bottle I posted a few months back. It is unique, emerald green with panels and ribs similar to the cathederal pickles. Back to the story, I was contacted by a visiter to the forum regarding the...

    Post 1900, but what a blast!

    Hi all, I've been working a early 1900s site for a couple of weeks now (aside to sunshine4me, did you get my invite to come along? only a 1/2 mile from you![:)]) anyway the place is loaded with non-imbossed cork-tops, lots of milk glass, five sizes of cobalt Nox-ema (16oz is a beauty![:)]) and...

    Radium Spring Water!

    Hello all, I've recently found a new site to dig (another one within 3/4 miles of my house[8D]), that appears to have been dug back in the 60's. There's a lot of early abm stuff lying around on the surface, and a ton of broken pre-1900[&:]. I decided to try digging into a bank that appeared...

    Richard Watson 'Supplement to Bitters'

    Hi All, I picked up a great hard-covered copy of Richard Watsons' Supplement to Bitters Bottles' 2nd. printing May 1971. It has the original dust cover, and hardly looks like it was ever read. It is compiled of detailed descriptions and drawn illustrations of additional bitters bottles that...
