You asked me awhile back for a list of Essex bottles. My old computer was down so it took awhile to retrieve but here is a list of ESSEX COUNTY NJ Blobs & Hutches I had in my personal collection. This list does not include NEWARK but I can post it if you want it. You and others can use it for...
Not really new but I thought the NJ collectors on this site might like to see a few scarce/rare aqua blobs to be on the lookout for. Aqua blobs tend to get short shrift because color has been all the rage for some time in the collecting world (local collecting is no exception) but some of the...
Here is an old pic of myself and my friend Ralph M. taken after a Philly dig back in the day when it wasn't that hard to get into decent pits. The bottle on the top shelf center is an amber open pontil G.A. Kohl Lambertville NJ...a super rare bottle. I believe that the one that just sold in...

Here is a pic of a Pickle Bottle in a hut I excavated. This was in the 1862-63 winter camp of the 62nd Pennsylvania Infantry in Stafford County, Virginia.
These three potlids and bases were dug from small trashpit near the 1862-63 winter camp of the 9th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. This regiment was a mostly Irish unit from Boston. Two of the pot still have original contents in them which is pretty remarkable being that they were buried for...
