    Privy #8. Found a Eyeball?

    I would think it a doll eye, the hollow tube at the end allowed one of the double wires coming off of the lead weight to enter and move the eye in dolls with open and shut eyes. some of the bisque doll heads were about the size of a childs' head.

    IN SEARCH OF ~ FIRST SODA BOTTLE COLLECTING BOOK

    The oldest soda book I own, is :SOFT DRINK BOTTLING / A HISTORY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ILLINOIS. The authors were John R. Paul - Paul W. Parmalee, published in 1973 through the Illinois State Museum Society. It may not be the type of book you were referring to, but it does have a very good...

    Found the craziest Edelweiss Blob Beer EVER!

    I like the crudity of your bottle. They are fun to find, and fall into the classification of miniature beers, (read sample). I've dug a few different ones over the years. There is actually a miniature, same company, embossed Schoenhofen in a shoulder "seal". Edleweiss for some reason were...

    Cool fossil

    Yes, from what I can see, the majority of the pictures are Nautiloids, ie: cephalopods. The one pictured towards the end appears to be a coiled cephalopod. Cephalopods continued on to this day in the form of the Chambered, and the Paper Nautilus. The segment lines represent the growth/chamber...

    Name that Shard? Iron Pontiled Beehive?

    Yes, it would appear to be an iron/graphite pontil, and though I'm not sure of the size, it is a "barrel" shape. It could be bitters, liquor, etc. I'm sure someone with more bitters experience can help you out. Either way great find and hope you find more of it, and a few whole ones.

    Forum lag?

    Still taking a while to load, I just retry and it gets there in its' own time. I have windows 8, but I also kept AOL, so when in doubt I just blame AOL[;)], makes me feel better.

    black glass bases

    I am getting a pretty good feel of 1830 -1840 on these fragments, especially based on the lip finishes. This would be consistent with the transfer printed fragments as well, my archaeological experiences have shown a lot more pearlware fragments, and different lip finishes when dealing with the...

    MILK GLASS

    I do like the salt shakers, I used to dig a lot of them myself, and still have them. I dug a few of the pink, blue, and green ones also.

    lower east side construction pile NYC

    I can see why you keep checking back, I'd be there every chance I could. Good luck! If I was to hazard a guess on the lip fragment, I would say carboy/demijohn, as I have seen many with extremely thick tops.

    It just so happens that Jamez has a photo of a four roses bottle with the cap and labels intact in the "Buy, Sell, and Swap" forum of this site.

    Pipe

    I have found Ivor Noel Humes books to be quite useful in identifying dug material. He has written several good books, a very good one on English pots, and several on archaeology in colonial Williamsburg.

    Crystal glass sculpture

    I have a crystal figurine which I think matches your description, made by the Orrefors glass company in Sweden. There is one currently on sale on ebay #360605907909. Hope this helps.

    dating help...

    The dates seem right to me for the whiskey. By the way the reason the threads are so low on the neck of the bottle, is that they had a large metal dose/shot cup cap that screwed on to the top.

    Old, Crude Green Bottle

    I would have to agree with most of the others on the date. The type of collar and pontil go back as far as the 1790's, and can go as far as 1830. The most prevalent time period for this style though would be a solid 1800 - 1820's. If you ever have a chance to obtain a copy there is an excellent...

    ever see one like this

    I can't get the above website to open, even though I have a printed hardcopy in front of me. However there is a good article on beer bottles and a nice section on growlers and their origin on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_bottle

    ever see one like this

    Some of them are also American. I have one from the Schlitz Brewery from the turn ot the century. They are called "Growlers" and I found a brief article on them at http://barleysbrewing.com/growler.htm.

    Do you recognize these?

    The bottom bottle appears to be a Bushmills gin bottle. The picture was small, butI thought I could see some of the Bushmills name on the label.
