    Hemingray and Dominion #42s

    Well, that explains it. I'm still new to this, I still have a lot of learning to do!

    Hemingray and Dominion #42s

    Saw some nice insulators up on a pole today. Two different brands, but funnily they both have the same model number: #42. The ones with drip points are Hemingrays, the others are Dominions Closeup of one of the Dominions. Good thing I had my 300mm zoom with me!

    Ansell's Drug Store med find

    Indeed! There were some much older, embossed meds but I fell in love with the label of this one. The label adds some history to the bottle IMO. The label reads "A teaspoonful every three hours" and someone noted on the side "Grippe", which is the French word for flu. I imagine that the...

    Ansell's Drug Store med find

    Found a nice little med today in an antique store in Sherbrooke, Qc. The back is embossed with ounce and cc markings, and on the front is a very nice label with the handwritten prescription. It's an AMB with a succion mark on the base. Base markings: /O 4 There were more of those, most were...

    Kist 10oz ACL

    Yeah, I'll probably leave the outside as is, it's not that dirty. The inside is quite dirty, I'll brush it with dish soap a bit.

    Kist 10oz ACL

    Found this nice Kist at a flea market today for 7$. The red on the ACL is a bit faded, but it's otherwise in good condition. I really like the diamond pattern on this bottle. Haven't cleaned it yet, I want to be sure how to do it without damaging the ACL.

    First Insulator!

    Thanks for the answer! It's older than I thought, I was thinking 1930's or so. Glass insulators are really attractive indeed! Now I have something more on my list of things to look for in flea markets and antique stores.

    First Insulator!

    Wow, it's been a loooooooooong time since I've been on this forum. Fountain pens and photography had taken over as my main hobbies, but I'm back, and with my first insulator! It's a Hemingray #16 in Hemingray blue glass (looove the color!). It's in good condition, just a few tiny chips and three...

    possible italian poison

    upon closer inspection, the stain is a powdery deposit of the evaporated original contents of the bottle. looks like it still contains poison! :P

    possible italian poison

    i just went to buy the bottles. the big one is exactly the one we were talking about. for an ABM, it's really crude. the mold seams are very apparent, and there's something like a succion mark on the base. the inside have a milky deposit, but i think it'll clean up easily. the second one...

    site of my first dig

    the metal parts are most likely the remains of a car or truck that was dumped there long ago.

    possible italian poison

    while looking at Poison_Us' website, i remembered a small bottle that i saw at the antique store. it looked very much like a KO-4, though i am not sure it had embossings. i'm interested in buying this one too, if it indeed is a KO-4, and if it's cheap. what would be a good price for one of...

    the CHUCKLES CLEANING METHOD

    RE: the CHUCKLES CLEANING METHOD™ you're still lucky to be able to find some. here, in Québec, i never saw this stuff anywhere. wondering if Old Dutch cleaner would be a good substitute. i'll soon have two bottles to clean that have an inside diameter way larger tha my brush.

    Need some advice

    being in a country house like that i doubt it's a privy, but maybe an ash pit for the coal furnace?

    possible italian poison

    this morning i went to a local antique store looking for bottles. i had already been there this summer, looking for fountain pens. they didn't have any, but i had seen some nice bottles there. so i came back there today to have a closer look at the bottles. there was a 1943 liquor bottle, a 1926...

    Into the Woods

    the vast majority of Corts are inedible, though not dangerous. the problem with them is that they all look alike eachother, and there are some that are dangerous. the purple Cort is one of the easiest to identify, along with the silver-violet Cort (Cortinarius alboviolaceus), which is one of the...

    new member here, wanting info

    many thanks for the info. that's what i first thought, but wanted the opinion of someone more knowledgeable about bottles than me. i wasn't able to find any reference about these later Pepsi bottles, only about the early ones. i meant that i do want to expand my bottle collection in the...
