    No Name No Clue - Age? For?

    Pardon a cry for help here... Came across this and have no clue. Not sure of age, use, and what the technical term is to call this type of bottle? Your thoughts? It stands about 5 1/2 inches tall, has a rough pontil, and lots of pinpoint size bubbles and several large ones. In some light you...

    Trash Or Treasure Jar Lid ???

    Pardon what maybe is a really naive question....But I have not seen one of these before. I ran across this Presto jar lid, and it seems that Presto lids are just too common to sort through in searches. So figured I would ask the more experienced. I have seen zillions of the ones that just say...

    Found Glass Razor Strop With a Kicker

    Ran across this glass safety razor strop the other day. This was rather exotic I am thinking, as most folks used the inside of a drinking glass to sharpen safety razor blades says my dad. So having one like this was a bit flashy eh? Of course the cool part of this is who it was advertising...

    Ball / Medford Mustard Label on Red Book #220-5

    Been a while since I have contributed, so I thought I might toss up a few picks of this jar. Nothing rare, but I do like the label. Medford Brands was the precursor of what today we know as "French's Mustard as can be seen in the company name at the bottom of the label. This example also has...

    I am curious about jar names...

    Pardon what might seem like a naive question.... What is the proper terminology for jars in general? For instance if I was looking on ebay I find them with all sorts of reference names. I guess I am asking if I wanted to be correct when I refer to jars in general do I say "Canning Jars" or...

    Flask or Art? New or Old?

    Way out of my depth on this one. It is about 6 1/2 long and has a pontil on the bottom. It is cased over white. Is this old or new, was it intended as art or use? Anything you can tell me on this would be great as I have no clue guys. Thanks!

    Label Glue Question

    I have a Warners Liver & Kidney bottle with a part of the label at the bottom loose. It looks like it may never have been glued completely. Over the years this loose flap has taken a bit of damage and I am thinking it might be good to glue it back down to the bottle. This brings my...

    Knife Dagger shaped Bottle

    As some of you may remember, I am going through a collection that I inherited slowly but surely. In it I came across this animal. I don't know what to make of it. It is pottery, and corked, so I guess it could be considered a bottle. It is about 11 1/2 inches long. Anyone seen one before...

    Emerald Bottle with W ? & Co. Marking

    In going through more of the bottles I inherited, I came across this one. There are no markings except for those on the bottom of W _ & Co with the "_" either a character, or maybe a ghost image of the "&". As you can see in the picture the character in question is obscured by a flaw. To me...

    Back With Another Mystery - To Me Anyhow

    This one has me stumped. (Not hard to do) It looks about the size of a small ink, and stands just 2 1/4 tall, but the odd opening shape has me scratching my head. It has a seam around the base, and two two coming up the sides clear to the top of the lip. No markings. The opening is smaller...
