    Can anybody tell me more about this bottle? Is it from San Fran, or elsewhere? Exactly what type of bottle? Rarity or value would be great too. Thank you.

    English? Bottle Base Markings

    Hi gang. I threading to humbly request assistance again, as I'm helping on an archaeological project and was hoping some of you -- particularly our English friends and of course our benevolent site administrator -- could help me identify some of the following base markings, and maybe even give...

    Please Help w/Mystery Round Bottom

    I'm posting this for a friend who is writing a report on a historical area, and we were hoping maybe some of you out there might have an idea what this bottle was, from what company, it's age, etc. to better help with his project. I've seen the actual broken bottle, but didn't have my camera...

    Mrs. E. Kidder Dysentery Cordial Boston

    Hey gang: My partner and I dug this up a couple of years ago on a permission venture into a historic area we typically don't get access to. It says, "Mrs. E. Kidder Dysentery Cordial Boston," and is open pontiled. This one is light-blue aqua, but I saw one that is same except for being light...

    Naked Lady by the Side of the Road

    Hey gang: The crown on the left is a goodie I scored during my hunt today. Was driving up this old road where they trenched a ditch a while back and spied a bottle butt sticking out. Stopped The Troll, my digging van, and checked it out: Just a blank beer, but right next was the base showing of...

    Hawaiian dig pics 3

    Here's my favorite type of dig pic, the "in-situ" or undisturbed, as Digger Odell describes it. These are from a nearby Honolulu mountain to the previous dig pics, an area where bottles pop out particularly after heavy rains. This first one was from July last year, and turned out to be a bimal...

    Hawaiian dig pics 2

    The first photo with me in the hole is a dig back in July last year; between Dean, Mike and I we scored like fifteen milks and each of us personally dug one killer each. That's me working on my killer -- a Z. Yamami Dairy, Manoa pint -- although I didn't know what it was yet, and there was also...

    Hawaiian dig pics 1

    This is from a dig my partner Mike and I enjoyed at the start of this month. Started out typically, with us just wandering up into one of our favorite Honolulu valleys to hunt in an area frequented by the deposed Queen and her supporters around the end of the 19th century and later settled by...

    las vegas or nevada soda/collectors

    Hey gang: I'm looking for some help. I'm wondering if there are squat sodas, especially colored ones, available from Las Vegas, and if not, from elsewhere in Nevada. I've done research already on the Net and have not found anything so far, so I'm suspecting too early of a type of bottle for the...

    German beer

    Was hoping one of you out there could help me with this one. I did some Google searches a while ago, but they proved mostly fruitless. Wanted to know anything you might know, including value if you have that too. This is a German beer found at an old plantation dump in Central Oahu about two...

    rainier beer split?

    Was wondering if anyone could give me some info and also maybe value on this bottle. I found it up in the mountains in Honolulu a couple years ago. It's about seven inches tall, tooled blob, and embossed: Rainier/Seattle Brewing & Malting Company/Beer. There are stars embossed in a circle...

    Hey folks -- and especially all you Maine diggers and collectors who frequent this site: A good friend of mine is looking for a Maine hutch to complete his 50-state collection. It's the last he needs. He's the VP of our Hawaii bottle club and a stand-up guy. I know he's definitely looking to...

    further details on rust cleaning options

    I'm posting this at Harry P's suggestion, after I emailed him directly about a response he gave to I believe the "lunchtime finds" thread -- where the author wanted to know about how to take off a rusty cap and Harry suggested oxalic acid, aka wood bleach -- because he thought my questions were...

    Hawaiian artifacts

    In light of Kelley's great post, I have to make one more with apologies again for not being able to crop my shots better yet. Photoshop is in the mail to me and I will avail myself of it immediately when it arrives. But it's fun to finally be able to play with photos on this site too. Anyway...

    site's reward

    Thanks to this great site, I was able to hook up through Joe (Relicsnstuff) this beautiful deep olive and iron pontiled Conant squat from New Orleans on a recent visit to the Big Easy just over a week ago. I didn't get to meet Joe himself, but I did get to hook up with his digging partner Willie...

    bad luck or good take two

    was having technical difficulties posting another reply to original thread so put it here. thought I should clarify one more thing: I'm not saying that what baltbottles or slimdigger does is devaluing friendships; instead I agree with them wholeheartedly that some smart and agreeable way must...
