Here is another bottle I dug today with an applied seal . The writing on the top of the seal is cut off and on the bottom it is either " Hind " or " Kind " . Bottle is smooth base, full two part mold with a fire polished lip.
Another bottle dug yesterday that I need help with is a Camden , New Jersey druggist bottle. A fancy druggist bottle embossed Barrett Bros. (over ) Pharmacists ( over ) Camden , NJ. Bottle has the original cork and contents. All of the druggist bottles we normally dig are from the area so I do...
Here is another bottle dug today. It appears to be a cone ink bottle but if so it is one I have not seen before. Anybody have any ideas on this bottle? I has circles embossed around the shoulder and a line across the midbody with " Fill To This Line " embossed abover the line. No base marks.
I dug this stoneware crock today. It is one of the crudest crocks I have ever seen. Whoever was at the pottery wheel must have been having a bad day. Anyone out there have any idea of its origin ?

Here is one that I picked up recently from an auction. The bottle stands a little over 13 inches tall and has a nice sand pontil scar on base. This lip finish is similar to what I have seen on some of the belgian spa bottles but I have never seen one on this type of bottle. What would you call...
Hi all. Slimdigger here. I have been fortunate enough to pick up a few decent collections lately . The bottles that do not fall into my area of collecting will be auctioned off on ebay. I should be able to keep a good stock of various decent bottles up for a few months. Slim
