question for the diggers: what other artifacts come with a bottle dig?
Arrowheads? Dinosaur bones? Stash of old coins?
I take it you would use a long thin rod and probe the ground for
picking out buried bottle.
How do you detect a buried if not that way.
I,ve never been on a dig or seen...
I didnt see what you were referencing to but, could it be a British made bottle?
I didnt show the last words on it too well. It says New York.
Did the Brits sell bottles of mayonaise to New Yorkers in 1877 ?.
All I can do is guess what was in it. Clorox...bleach? Insecticides?
Anyway, If you grabbed it in the middle of the night, sleepy, you,d know
it was not for human consumption as per its shape.
I know that that is precisely the reason for many odd shaped bottles.
To let whom ever picks it...
Could that cracked top be melted back into shaped.
Seems logical that with enough heat that crack would dissapear.
If done properly that is. Is that possible. I,m sure someone somewhere has tryed this.
Any info on heat repair of cracks in bottles?
I guess this was for some chemical or poison but the shape seems to suggest it was.
I see no marks that would say it was melted or was post-molded to the shape it has now.
No embossing. I guess its an ABM bottle judging by the bottom.
It stands nine and a half inches high.
I saw another one on EBay with a label stateing Anti-Pain Internal.
Mostly alcohol with other ingredents mixed in. Asked the seller if there was a date
on the label. Seller came back with ` I cant find a date on it anywhere.`
Its eight and a half inches tall.
The pics tell it all really. Also the purple color of the bottle suggests it was irradiated
or heated to give the color....perhaps. It stands five inches high.
The top shows saw marks where probably a broken top was `fixed`.
Still an interesting piece.
This one stands six and a quarter inches high. Embossed near the top is: Dr. J.O.Lambert
Limited Montreal-New York.
The bottle shows lots of air bubbles in the glass. Seemingly of a crude manufacturing
process. The bottom shows a number 8.
This clear bottle stands six inches high. From what I could gather through a translated
web page, it was some kind of `Holy snake oil` as it were. A brew that was `sold`
as a cure or feel-good tonic? Blessed by the priest of Gy, if i read all that right. Not sure
though on my translation...
This small bottle stands 4 inches high and shows irridesent rainbow color on the surface.
No embossing is found to tell what it was used as. I assume it was for medicine of some kind. Here are three pics of it.
