    Green Nugrape

    Very cool find! My brother lives in a condo in the original Nugrape headquarter offices in Atlanta. A developer converted the old brick headquarters building into about 20 very unique units some years ago.

    Unexpected Jobsite Find

    The same thing I do with the mineral specimens and crystals I dig myself: put them on a shelf in nice natural light so I can look at them periodically and cherish the fact that I found them myself.

    Unexpected Jobsite Find

    Yeah, I have 3 now, and this is the nicest of the 3 condition-wise (PERFECT), but the lettering seems a little cruder. Anyways, I jokingly believe that I'm the global market share controller of Dr. J.S. Rose's Eye Water bottles, with 3 of the 4 known to exist on the collector market on...

    Unexpected Jobsite Find

    HA! I was a little inebriated late one night and created an eBay listing for the second one I found. I was offered a very, very princely sum for the first one I found, so I set my start bid, reserve, and BIN price ridiculously high as a test. Ultimately the true test fell on me being unwilling...

    The slightly cocked 'S' is another indicator these were blown from, or in, the same mold. Thanks guys

    Sorry for the indoor photos, but here are both sides. Left side on both is a crude Phil. A: Right side is the money shot: I thought I saw a crude 1854 on the first one I found that I posted earlier in the thread but it was bad light and my eyes deceived me.

    Unexpected Jobsite Find

    Looked at them side by side in the sunlight when I got home today. I'm new to this but they look intrinsically different. See below: The pontils also look very different to me. I think the left one is an older iron pontil and the right is an open pontil. Again, I'm a newbie, but these two...

    I should start gambling, because I found this one today on the ground surface in a newly excavated soil pile not 50' from the other Eye Water bottle posted earlier in the thread.

    Oh, and I was looking over the Eye Water bottle last night and noticed it is embossed 1854 very crudely in smaller font next to Phil on the side. Very cool!

    H.H.H. Medicine bottle from the PA privy I found and dug near the bottle I found. The bottles dated from the 1880s through the 1920s. I found a number of each of these mini perfume bottles, too.

    You're right, it is Garton's.

    Unexpected Jobsite Find

    Thanks all for your responses! An unexpected find that has become an accidental hobby. I already found and dug a privy on the same site. The bottles were mostly 1920s but I think I found some that were a bit older. Found two embossed Hires Household Extract bottles, one clear and one a nice...

    Unexpected Jobsite Find

    I found this bottle on a job site in PA and it interested me enough to Google research it. Apparently Dr. J.S. Rose began practicing medicine inPhiladelphia in 1825 and produced his own proprietary medicines in the 1840s and 1850s. I learned that J.S. Rose bottles are rare and Eye Water wasn't...
