Picked up a pair of 2nd hand display cabinets recently. Plan to fill with sodas, beers and hutches. Anyone happen to know the weight rating for the glass shelves? They measure 38"x11 1/2"x3/16" and have a groove cut for plates, supported at 4 corners. Hate to see everything end up on the...
I found these scratching around a job site recently with a screw driver, it was an abandoned house but I didn't get permission so I couldn't go hog wild . . .

I recently attended a relative's birthday party in Kunkletown, PA. The property was an early 17th century farmhouse and barn with a stone springhouse. The springhouse had a date stone but the sandstone was worn making the date illegible. There was another stone marked "J W T", possibly the...
Happy Birthday Jim!

Went for a hike and came across several downed phone poles. Any unbroken colored insulators had been removed that could be reached. Here are some pics of the ones that weren't reached (sorry for the blur). However there are many of the rods, metal with the square nuts and wood threads on the...
Went out to scratch around in an area located between an old 1830's church and General Neville's original mansion who was the revenue collector for the whiskey tax that incited a 2 day rebellion in 1794. As I was wondering thru the wilderness, I came across an area where high waters had washed...
Here's a chance to own a "one of a kind" although seller admits 3 others known . . .

This came out of an 1870's hole based on a deep aqua smooth base squat shard and 1/2 blob lip. Was looking like a good hole with trash/shards about a foot down. Just shy of 3 ft. hit parts of a wooden skid and well preserved Gatorade bottle with original plastic cap. Chose to backfill but I...
This bottle was dug in Yorkana, Pa (York County) in a turn of the century dump in the early 70's. The only damage was a small flake in the lip. As tumbling was still in its infancy, a friend chose to tumble it with 2 hutches (in an effort to save time I guess and using a new fangled design)...
On my way to the Baltimore show I dropped my daughter off in Philly close to the Dyottville dig site so I thought I might check it out. Unable to navigate Philly traffic while scanning the blue pages, I finally ended up at a safe place to pull off where I saw some excavation. This was at the...
Anyone know of an aqua smooth base squat (pony) soda from Delta, PA? I was at an antique auction with "lots of bottles" in Greene Co. about 20 yrs ago and seem to remember seeing an aqua pony from Delta in a box lot but some guy was paying high amounts for all the "slicks" so I passed it up. I...
