    How old is this bottle?

    Thanks. This link is the only one I found and it did not sell. Does this mean that it's not particularly rare or valuable?

    How old is this bottle?

    My son just found a bottle in the woods that looks exactly like this: ketchup bottle Has the same markings as listed in the link, i.e. "E1636" and 2, 5, and 4 around the logo. Does look like anything super-exciting, but I am wondering if we should go back and dig some more around the...

    How rare/valuable is this bottle?

    Thanks, that's interesting. Unfortunately, I left the wood on the beach. So I only have the photos and the bottle. But that's fine -- we also have great memories!

    How rare/valuable is this bottle?

    We were camping in Southern Maryland the other day and I found THIS bottle on the beach. Looks like it's been in the water for awhile. I was hoping to find a message in it but no such luck. :-) On the bottom it has "G-286" and "Duraglas". On the left of the diamond it has a "4" and on the...

    Set of about 30 bottles up for grabs -- take all or some

    Do you mean for some long-term storing to wait for them to go up in value? I found similar ones on eBay sold for peanuts. Is it really likely that in 2, 3 or even 10 years they will be any more rare or valuable? Thx

    Set of about 30 bottles up for grabs -- take all or some

    I just realized that I had 4 more bottles that were in a different box. I photographed them before so I added the old photos to the same album: #29, 30, 31 and 32 (they got added to the beginning of the album -- http://s941.photobucket.com/albums/ad252/ilyaz73/All%20bottles%202011-12-10/ -- not...

    Set of about 30 bottles up for grabs -- take all or some

    Thanks! I kinda like the ink bottle too. The only problem with it is that it has a crack. Not sure if this type of crack has a name but I don't feel any damage to the glass when I slide my finger over the crack either on the outside of the bottle or the inside:

    Selling mason jar

    Well, the jar sold for quite a bit more than I expected. I guess it's nice sometimes to set your expectations low. :-) Thanks everyone on this forum for the info -- it was critical. When I asked in another post what I need to do to post eBay ads, someone joked that I'd have to donate...

    Set of about 30 bottles up for grabs -- take all or some

    I've decided to part with a set of about 30 bottles that I've dug up at the same location over the last couple of months. One reason is that my wife wants to clear some space in the basement and this treasure did not make it to the list of what stays. :-( Here is an album with the photos...

    How do you know? I am not, of course, questioning your knowledge, just trying to learn. Thanks!

    Best way to id a bottle by bottom markings?

    Is there a way to id a jar or a bottle by its bottom markings that is better than simply googling it. That is, is there some sort of online guide to bottom markings. Here are three specific cases. 1. "3-K-415-S" 2. "D 23 65-9" 3. "C8 G8 2000 6 61 49" plus some text that I can't...

    Hey, I can use a bottle as a bottle stopper...

    You might be right, it does not look like an actual thread. On the other hand, I've never seen a bottle stopper which was hollow inside. I can be wrong too, of course. I am curious whether this is neither a bottle nor a stopper but something with a different purpose entirely, although it's hard...

    Hey, I can use a bottle as a bottle stopper...

    So I was looking at these two bottles: and then it occurred to me that I can do this: So all I need now is to find some type of rubber piece to fit around the small bottle to make a tight bottle stopper... Can't say it looks particularly elegant but maybe this way I can actually...

    Selling mason jar

    I decided to sell the Knowlton Mason vacuum jar that I recently found. Here's the link to the eBay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280774470244?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 Since it's hard for me to figure out how much this jar is worth, i started low just making...
