    Cleaning fragile beer can?

    I really need to join a can forum, I have so many can questions I don't want to ask here. They can wait. This one is more urgent: How do you clean a can, that can be broken with the touch of a finger? I can't get Oxalic acid, and citric (lemon juice) would eat it. Is there some commercial rust...

    Beach: No Digging Necessary

    I didn't think there would be any more bottle finds this weekend, but I was wrong! On a small beach (if it can be called that) near a boating club, I spotted bits of sea glass. But I looked closer, and some of them were embossed! This started a search of the entire beach. Whole bottles were...

    Wesley? Western? Repro Bottles

    I saw some tiny repro bottles at the local thrift store. But they weren't the "Made In Taiwan" ones I always find. They were marked with a company name on the base. Started with WE. Wesley? Western? Does anyone know of reproduction bottles that have names with "WE___?" They looked older, like...

    Soda Bottles and Cans in Commercials

    I already did one of these for beer bottles, but it's not getting much attention. Maybe you'd prefer to see some ACL sodas? There are cans too, once again I aplogize if this violates any rules. 1. Man downs a Coke from one of the tall bottles Who knows, maybe you have this particluar...

    Cuticura System for Curing Constitional Humors

    I recently bought a bottle embossed "THE CUTICURA SYSTEM FOR CURING CONSTITUTIONAL HUMORS." Pictures of it will be posted soon. I am assuming that this was some kind of medicine for the four humors, which would date it to the 1800s. It was made by Potter Drug and Chemical Co. of Boston, Mass...

    Utica Club contop Beer Can

    In the next few weeks, I may be able to purchase this beer can. The lady selling it said that her son collected cans. Sadly, he was killed in a mtorcycle accident. She is now selling the cans, because she has no space for them. I do not have pictures of the can, nor could I find any on the...

    Beer Bottles (and cans) in old commercials

    I have some pictures of bottles and cans of beer from classic commercials. Someone here should be interested in these, so I'll post them all here. There are 11 bottles and 9 cans, I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting cans here. I'll start with this: "For ale that's made by...

    Mixed Jars - Ball Perfect Mason, Atlas, Crown

    There is a woman in my aprtment building that likes to can fruits and juice. She has some older canning jars (some with flip tops) that I may be able to get from her. She does not have rubber stoppers for the jars, so they would be useless to her, but I don't think she knows that. I can give...

    Lot of Bottles - Inkwells, medicine

    See anything good here? I can buy this lot for $20, but wanted to make sure it's a good deal first. I can't really get any info or pictures, but the "large inkwell" has a chip according to the ad. Bottles R Us

    Heritage Village

    I think most of you live in the United States, so you've probably never seen the Westfield Heritage Village. Westfield is a small town in Hamilton, Ontario. The village has 34 buildings open for viewing and is working on a 35th. If you're ever in the area, I suggest you go see it. It's only open...

    Lids - JEWEL and KAN'T KRACK

    I bought 3 lids for $1 at and antique store. There were these 2 lids, which I do not have jars for, and an Improved Gem with the ring, which is one my Gem jar now. I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about these lids: How old are they, what are they worth, and what do their jars look...

    The ROYAL Full Measure Pint

    Just got this jar for about a dime. There was a garage sale "fill a bag for $2" so I filled that bag till it was ready to burst. This jar was one of the items I got. Can anyone tell me more about this jar? P.S. I don't have the lid for it, the people I bought it from had it sealed with a large...

    Crown Jars

    In one of my last posts, I said I wasn't selling anytime soon. That goes for bottles. These jars, on the other hand, have to go. I'd like to know the values for these dates of Crown jars: Pints: Crown 1945, 1947, 1948,? 1950 (no ring). Crown Imperial undated, lots of bubbles. Corona undated. 1...

    Box of Bottles

    I picked up a nice box of bottles for $5 at a yard sale. There's a lot of bottles in the box, so many that I actually paid 19 cents each. Since I don't want to clog this post with pictures, I will just list the bottles. If you want to see pictures of the bottles, just reply with what bottle you...

    Dumping at Westfield Heritage Village

    Over the weekend, we went to see the Westfield Heritage Village. It's near Hamilton, Ontario. If you're in the area on sunday (that's the only day they're open) It's definately worth seeing. They had a 1920s era railroad station set up, and I was walking the tracks looking for a railroad spike...

    First Bottles I Ever Sold

    Today, I got a call from a man in Welland. He said he collected milk bottles as well as pop bottles, longneck beers and Welland related items, like pencils, ads etc. He came over to look at my milk bottles. Turns out most of them were dirt common, he already had the most valuable one. But he...

    Mack Mineral Springs

    Continuing with the $12 box, here's a nice Mack Mineral Springs. It's another local bottle from St. Catharines, Ontario. It's machine made (the seam goes through the lip,) but looks like an early 1900s bottle. On the bottom, there's a large M. What's this one worth? Bottles R Us[;)]

    C.C. Nelson & Co. St. Catharines

    Another one from the $12 box I bought. I think it's a blown bottle, but there's no pontil. It seems to be a "blob top," is that good? On the bottom it says Hamilton Glass Works. All around the part where the neck meets the topit has really long bubbles. I almost didn't buy it, thinking it was...

    Ceramic/Stoneware Shard

    Can't remember where I found this shard, but I think it was in the water. If I can remember where I found it, would it be a good indication to dig for bottles there? Bottles R Us
