Coca cola bottle from Albuquerque

In September of '99, I sold at a living estate auction for my mother, a coca cola bottle with straight sides, tapered neck, Denver, CO, and coca cola in script. I located a picture of the bottle in a book that a local antique dealer had and it was listed as circa 1902 to 1910. As I remember...

Digital camera

FWIW. I have been using a Fuji Finepix A303 for the last year and a half and have great success with it. The optical zoom is equivalent to 38mm-114mm on a 35mm camera. The resolution is 3.2 megapixel. It comes with a 16mb XD memory card and I just bought my second 64mb card for $23.50. This...

How old are you ????

I am a young and energetic 61. I have not been actively collecting bottles at all but have had some real treasures come my way. My dad and my grandfather on my mothers side were in pharmacy and collected some real nice stuff, most of which went bye-bye at an estate auction in '99. There were...

Tiny figurine

You know, I think maybe it was just a dug hole with a decline going down to where the door was and a timber and sod roof. That has been probably thirty years ago. At that time, I lived in SW Missouri and was turkey hunting in the Mark Twain Forest. KE

Tiny figurine

Hi Maine Digger. The little "guy" seems to be wearing a skirt and the object being held is most assuredly watermelon (note facial features). I doubt the Forest Service would welcome a dig in that spot. The depression is more likely a root celler as none of the outhouses I remember were in the...

OLD bottle

Harry, I guess I did not answer your query about the bottle color. I would say olive-amber comes closer than anything. After the intense exposure to sunlight for lord knows how long down there in the Bahamas, it is more black than otherwise. KE

Tiny figurine

Attached is a pic of a tiny figurine I found in the Mark Twain National Forest, miles from a highway and up on a hillside perhaps three hundred yards from an old homestead site. The only remains of the homestead were a few foundation stones, part of a stone fireplace chimney and a deep...

OLD bottle

I have a bottle I dug out of a sandbank in about 15 ft of water in the Carribean. It is obviously very old and I would like to find someone who can give me an approximate age and origin. The attached photos give four different views. The material in the mouth of the bottle is coral. KE
