    The Agony Of Defeat

    I believe the car is a Fiat. No, it's not old. I said 50s due to the glass Clorox bottles. I'm hoping to find ACLs from a local bottling co that was around during this era.

    'SSS' Fragment Help

    I found a bunch of old fragments today and would like to date the spot before I go any further. This fragment is thick Aqua glass with a round bottom, a huge bubble and what appears to be S S S or maybe 5 5 5 embossed on it. Any idea on age?

    Did I mention that it's adjacent to the property line for the Trump owned Seven Springs estate?

    The Agony Of Defeat

    I was out hiking yesterday and spied some junk spilling down a steep slope. Three cars, two motorcycles, one washing machine and a LOT of bottles. A quick look told me that none of it was particularly old, mostly the 1950s. I need to go back with some heavy gloves (and a tetanus shot) to se what...

    Today finds

    I always thought it was amazing to fine whole light bulbs that had been buried in the ground for 90 or so years.

    So sad, I just lost my father.

    Sorry to hear, but glad you were with him. I work in the ICU, so I see it a lot. It's never easy.

    New TOC Dump

    I found a Fletcher Castoria bottle the other day. Everyone says they're worthless and get thrown back in the hole. Well I didn't have one so I kept it. That one meant something to me. The next one won't.

    New TOC Dump

    Very true I suppose. The way I see it, anything I think has value in my personal collection is worthwhile. My opinions may change as my collection expands and grows. Besides, I'm more interested in discovering local history than collection value.

    Local History via Bottles

    Boehmer's (1890 - 1905) was located less than 100 yards from New Castle (1905 - 1920) the Di Micco Bros (1920) operated in roughly the same area until 1950 when they moved a mile down the road, changed their name to Mt. Kisco Bottling and continued until 1970. The discovery of a New Castle...

    Local History via Bottles

    My interest in bottles started when I found a broken bottle with Mt. Kisco Bottling Co embossed on the heel. I contacted the local historical society and they sent me some archival newspaper articles about the company. Since then I think I have managed to connect the earliest known bottler in...
