    Not A Religious Man

    I'm a late arrival too, but wanted to add my prayers for Darla and you. Hoping for the best in medical care for her and a successful outcome. Don't be afraid to ask the Docs any and all questions that you have, and don't let them get away until you are satisfied that you understand their...

    What the h... were these?

    Yes, telephone candy container. Originally might have had a glass receiver attached by a piece of cord. Age could go back to the 1940's. The third picture, bottle with globular bottom, look likes what is actually inside the straw or raffia -covered bottles of Chianti and wines like that. I...

    a few finds from my dream home

    Very nice selection of family history - thanks for sharing. That atomizer in the lower L corner is cute. I like the picture of the guy in the hat that is near it.

    Bottles on Travel channel again 2/06/07 10:00 pm

    I enjoyed it! Especially interested in the parts in upstate NY, Albany and Watervliet -lived in Albany till I was 18, but that was before I got interested in bottles. Amazing to think of all those undug privies up there. But of course there would be, those areas have been settled for soooooo...

    Bed bug Killer in a Jug

    Great find! Marvelous label!!!! I'm getting a chuckle out of the lady of the house (or could it be the maid) having flipped up the mattress and killing bugs in her corset and bustle.

    Any ideas on this one and I want the other one

    Some possible leads.....Huylers was a soda fountain, restaurant, candy co. in NY State at least, I found references going back to 1910, and when I grew up in Albany NY (long, long ago, LOL) there was a Huylers restaurant, and by then, it was sort of a chain, probably going over into New England...

    1880-1900's hospital privy??

    Have you been able to research the local history and find out what kind of hospital it was? Sounds like you've got a sort of rural location, which makes me think TB sanatorium, where fresh air and camp-like conditions were common, and many of the patients might be ambulatory. Acute care wouldn't...

    Mum was a deodorant/anti-perspirant cream, competitor of Arrid, in the days before roll-ons, sprays etc. Very common.

    Little green bottle??

    Musterole was a cream or jelly type remedy often used like Vicks, rub on the chest, cover with a warm cloth, for coughs and congestion Used instead of old fashioned mustard plasters. I know it was around in the 1940's. Some people also used it as a rub for muscle aches, kind of like BenGay. The...

    Got a question for you older folks.

    Even tho I'm way old, I don't know the song, but I'll sure send along prayers for your brother and nephew. Maybe if you call one of your local radio stations they can help you identify the song. Best of luck to you all.

    royal lyme

    Hi - I had a green one that was about the same size, maybe a little larger, same stopper, bought it in Bermuda around 1975 or so - was really great smelling scent sold as either after-shave or toilet water. I think Vermont Country Store has had a similar product in their catalog from time to...

    Necklace

    Beautiful! The stones look to me a bit like some Carnelian jewelry my mother had. Or possibly some polished agate? I'm sure capsoda knows much more about amber than I do, but I never saw any quite that dark. Would love to hear more aboutit.

    Egg Beater and some kind of Scooper

    Nice! Don't throw away the egg beater. Somebody who likes old kitchen tools might like to have it and clean it up for display. Seems like no matter what we find, even if we don't want it, there's some collector out there who would love it.

    'Tis the Season...

    That is a very pretty bottle, diggermeister, and thanks for posting it. I don't have any specifically Christmas bottles, but back when I had space, before I moved into my little apt and had to pack up most of the stuff, I would put some red (wheatons) and green bottles in the window to catch the...
