Fellow Bottle freaks,
I have gained permission on a schoolhouse. I find it on the 1872 maps I'm pretty positive. Here is my question. The bottom of it is concrete. The coal chute has 1888 on it. So I am confused. The only thing I can think is there is a lot of stone around the base of...
Just curious on what is it? After my research I came to the conclusion of a double ringed flint glass flask. ANy info would be appreciated. I figured the massive wreck of a job finishing the lip was the factor the put this in pre-1900. All the actual crud which usually gets in cracks is in what...
Found these two in same area. Is this just a larger version of the one next to it? It seems to have the same embossing...well whats left of it. Any info is appreciated?
OK its just a shard but my mind says crier. A guy I know keeps telling me insulator. I think NO WAY. Someone here will surely know of this odd neck thick bottle. Any info is greatly appreciated for my brain bank.
Anyone have a link or a Michigan connection on one. 4 footer preferred. Also preferred where its not sending a random person unsecured money through paypal with very little communication.
Thanks
Dave
Just found out about this amazing phenomenon. I saw a house with 3 or 4 panes like this. Supposedly when a woman became engaged she would take the ring and scratch her maiden name in a window of her house.
I have found only 2 online references to this, here is one from an article:

Got this at the flint show. has a burst bubble on the A end and some minor stuff on inside lip. I still love it, its a nontypical size I think. I cannot find much on this bottling works. but its semi local to me and I LOVE the lip.
Are slick pontils very valuable? I bought one very cheap and was suprised as it has no conditon issues other than plainess. Its great for me as I have no pontiled bottles. I bought it for 5 bucks at my local flea market. Its a beauty even though its slick. All kinds of crude. Its probably 5...
I am dying to dig a privy. Even if its labor only first time. I am extremely nervous to try and get permissions. The other day I asked my first homeowner and she told me it was dipped. HOWEVER I do not think they dug deep enough. Anyhow I am looking for local diggers and maybe a group to get...
Well I found this doing my thang this summer. Turns out they were only in busines for 2 years 1855-1857. They were started by a defunct group of expediters and after 2 years bought out by Wells Fargo. Here is there Money Order sign for the Depot station. I was told in great shape this would...
Well the water is probably gonna be too cold for awhile now. So here is a pic of most of my memorable finds from this summer. I found a blob top Beer in early summer and hooked myself in to bottles deep. Then I decided to collect Meds. Well then I found the 725 dollar Triumph which you all...
I need to get pics up but I found an early Boyd in the same hole of my Triumph. I cannot find much on it however ir is much cruder than most boyd/ball jars. Greener tint, lots of bubbles and verticle mold lines on inside of mouth. I've read all up on the sale of Boyd to Ball but any info or pics...
