    Can I join you in Massachusetts for just one day??

    Hi - I'm going back home to Massachusetts on vacation from 15-29 September. Staying in Worcester, but will travel. It would be a highlight of my vacation if I could join you for a bottle dig. I could scrounge up some digging tools from my father-in-law's garage. I haven't had an opportunity to...

    FYI - I started a blog a few weeks ago about quackery; it will be mainly about the 19th and early 20th century stuff, but sometimes I will bring up something from today (check out my AQUA awards). Here's the address: www.quackcogitations.blogspot.com Please check it out and let me know...

    Have you dug this one in your state?

    I would like your help in a little bottle survey. [8|] I am doing research for a book I'm writing about the medicines of Lynn, Mass., and trying to find out how broadly one particular medicine got distributed across the U.S. and Canada. The medicine is Mrs. Dinsmore's Cough and Croup Balsam...

    Dr. Abbott' s Blood Purifying Sarsaparilla

    One of my prized possessions is this bottle. Without the label it' s just another plain aqua medicine, but the label brings the whole story home. I' m not sure if this sarsaparilla is even listed in any books (if anyone has seen it listed, I' d love to know). The small type tells the reader all...

    Bottles in Sweden, Finland, and Russia?

    I will be going on a vacation this summer to Sweden, Finland, and possibly the St. Petersburg area of Russia. Does anyone know if any antique shops carrying bottles in these countries or museums with a nice collection? I know southern Sweden has a big glass-making industry, so we might get to...

    Genuine Chinese Green Drops

    Hi everyone - Here' s my own mystery bottle. Although I have never seen another one before, it may be very common for all I know. In any case, I have loved it since the day I found it in northern Massachusetts, as I walked along a large expanse of fresh dug up bottle dump that was being exposed...

    Displaying a bitters bottle carton that' s falling apart

    One of my treasures is an old box for Thurston' s Old Continental Tonic Bitters. It' s absolutely beautiful (at least to me). Unfortunately I am not able to have it on display because it is split at two of the four corners. While the box can stand on it' s own, it does so with the stability of a...

    Galvanic Pendant - Front Side

    Hello! This first post on my part is as much as test of how to do it as it is to get an answer, so I hope you' ll bear with me! I long ago acquired a marvelous galvanic pendant for healing on the galvanic principle of electricity. It is made of gutta percha with a copper and zinc inset on one...
