Hey, this is Tom Askjem from ND. We were messaging a couple years ago about DT bottles. I've been doing a lot of digging around the Dakotas and have come up with a bunch of stuff. Was hoping to get in touch with you and talk bottles. Is there a number that I can reach you at?
I found this info. I have both the Gustave Pomy and the Segulke blob sodas made from the L&W glass co. The L&W glass co closed down in 1872 or 1873, making those sodas early although Gustave Pomy purchased his bottling works from "E.D." I'm not sure if there are embossed bottles from that...
Also wondering if there are colored sodas from the state and if there is anything pontiled and how many known pre-hutch sodas the state has. Thanks, Tom
Much appreciated info. I've dug a good few broken stoneware bottles in Maine. I have a Wentworth's and a Higgins stoneware soda bottles in my collection. If I dig any pontiled sodas from Maine, I'll let you all know. Thanks again
Wondering if pontiled Maine sodas exist. Seems they should; the state is older than states with pontiled sodas.although I've found no info. I once dug an 1870's pony style soda from Portland, ME although no pontil. Also wondering if there are colored ME sodas. Info, pictures, or both much...
North Dakota and Minnesota. Found 3 aqua patent meds, 2 local North Dakota pharmacy bottles (non-territorial although close) 2 aqua Dr. Wards, 1 amber and 3 aqua Watkins and 15 or 20 un-embossed pharmacy bottles. All tooled or hand applied tops.
Thank you. I'll keep you in mind if I find a pre-1880's rochester blob. Was at a dig site a couple of days ago near the Minnesota state line at a very old house built out of square nails and thought I had a slope shoulder on the way out of the ground. Saw the thick aqua blob and the bail. Was an...
I only collect un tumbled bottles. I would rather have a hazy bottle with ground lines than a sparkling tumbled bottle. The states I'm in search of: The Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Kansas. Also interested in Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, Idaho and Washington. Only...
UN-TUMBLE POLISHED BOTTLES ONLY. In search of an aqua Torch Lake Brewery Bottle from Michigan or other early aqua blob top bottles (pre 1880s). Any information is much appreciated. Thank You.
I only collect un-tumbled bottles. I would rather have a hazy bottle with ground lines than a sparkling tumbled bottle. I'm in search of the aqua blob tops. I missed an e bay auction of an 1870's Mankato Minnesota blob top and have been looking ever since although I'm interested in any pre...
