I forgot about this :) And really? I guess it might be able to keep a door open, I haven't tried that though haha.
And I really didn't think it was pontilled, I got another look at it and the cracking was mostly around the edges of the base from wear. There is just a smooth round pit in the...
How can I tell that? I just collect bottles very casually. And on the bottom there's a circle indentation in the middle, and it looked kind of broken around it, like it was attached to something.
I found this on the on the bank of a stream behind my house, it looked weird so I picked it up and cleaned it. I have no idea what it's from but I thought it was kind of neat. :)
Interesting :) A while ago I did find the top of a bottle where the seam didn't reach the top in the small stream by my house, but couldn't find anything else.
Hm I never thought of that. And sorry for not replying, I forgot to check this haha. Since I found the old maps of the area I have quite a few ideas of places to go.. there's only a light dusting of snow, hopefully it doesn't snow more tomorrow.
But about rivers, wouldn't most glass get...
I can't believe it, but I found town maps of where I live (around 1000 people now) and the towns around it(less than that) from the 1870s, So now I know for sure what fields to look in [:)]
Basically what the title says. I'm pretty new and only casually collect old bottles I find, mainly by following old rock walls and hoping I have luck. I won't have the means to dig privies or anything like that anytime soon. I'm asking that out of curiosity and for advice. I live in a small town...
Do you have any interesting old bottles dug with contents still inside? I'm talking early 1900s at the latest. Compared to many here, I've only dug a few small spots, so some of you probably have a lot like this, but I found these two bottles in different areas, one with the cork and some dried...
That's sad. When I got them the younger one (Roxie) was very skinny and had a nearly hairless tail, but the fur grew back after a while of better care. I assumed it was from malnutrition? I think she's very small for an adult ferret, even a female. And don't worry, they're in a spot they can't...
I'm not sure exactly, I got them secondhand from people that were basically neglecting them. I've had them for a few years now. I couldn't make a good estimate, but I know that the white one is much older than the brown one.
Really? I didn't even think it was that old, heh. I don't care about value though, I was just curious.
The first ferret was Roxie, and this is my other one, Zoey. You can see she's missing a fang.. she's old.
I got this at a yardsale with a few other little bottles.. I'm an amateur collector by the way. I just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about it? How old is it? I couldn't find one like it searching quickly online.You can see there's still shampoo in i.. smells pretty good haha. (my ferret...
I found these two bottles at different sites and basically just want some info on them. I can't find anything on Palmer's Beverages from Houlton, Maine online.. The one on the left (or top in this case, sorry heh) looks a lot older and there's bubbles all through it. You can tell it was broken...
