    Mustard Jars

    I found these two over the weekend. The glass jar is from California Conserving Co. San Francisco which dates it 1860-1900. The ceramic looks like a French mustard jar. I have not seen any ceramic jars this shape and size except those in my internet search. And I presume also pre 1900, but don't...

    No 16 high voltage insulator

    I found this large insulator in California. The only embossing is the No. 16 seen in the picture. It is threaded inside. I have not found a similar one searching the web, though the few large ones like this suggest it is high voltage and the No. 16 is for the gauge of the wire not the CD...

    Mystery bottle No 1

    From my California river finds this week is this dark, nearly black bottle. It has no seams, an applied top, some tooling marks on the neck and near the bottom. There are faint horizontal lines on the body that can be seen in the light, but the body is smooth. Any ideas?

    Liberty Brand Cold Packing

    This one should have been easy, but it has me stumped. Perhaps someone here can help. The bottle is embossed with Liberty Brand Cold Packing Company Oakland CA. on three of the ten sides. It is 2 1/2" in diameter. The seam runs up to the shoulder and then stops. There is another seam, offset by...

    Bagley & Co bottle

    This small bottle has B & Co Ld on the base indicating it was manufactured by Bagley & Co between 1899 and 1920. There is a horseshoe like embossment on the side. It stands 3 1/2 inches tall. Any idea what it was used for? I have not seen another like it.

    River Bottle

    I found this in California. It has an applied top, seams from a clamshell mold with extruding glass and only the three numbers on the base shown as markings. Any thoughts as to what I have here? I posted here because of the extrusion suggesting an older less well fitting mold. The bottle is a...

    Hutchinson Bottle

    Found near Sacramento. It is embossed with a large H on one side and a large P on the other. Under the H is SAC embossed. On the bottom is C. S. W. and SAC. I have not been able to find out anything about this particular bottle. All help and suggestions appreciated.

    Snuff Bottle Id please

    The attached bottle seems to clearly be a molded amber American snuff bottle. It has bubbles in the glass and an applied top suggesting pre-1900. The problem I am having in identifying the bottle is the embossed bottom. It has a pair of spectacles (or pince-nez) with a chain. The chain seems...

    What Is It?

    I'm not sure if this belongs here or before 1900. The seam does not go through the top and is a fairly rough, though straight seam. There are air bubbles in the glass, the bottom has a round or conical indentation with glass flow inside to one side, there are turning marks on the neck. The...

    I found this recently in the Sacramento, CA area. The seam goes through the top. The bottom has 0-7195, an A in an H and an O in an O and the number 12 on it. Every other flat side has a raised line, and the top has an interesting thread quite far down from the lip. The bottle is 23" high...
