    Lake Erie #1

    Nothing to add directly related to dating the bottle but I have dug a few just like it from a spot where everything that can be dated is 1880s to 1920. Heavier on the turn of the century stuff though, 1900 ish.

    Williams Magnetic Relief

    Can anyone tell me about this product? I know the bottles are fairly common. I just want to know what was in it, what it claimed to do and when it was around.

    Clay tobacco pipe

    Nice. Can't make out the thorn looking thingie on the side but the front looks like a tobacco leaf.

    New England Antique Bottle Club 52nd Annual Show & Sale

    I won't make the show but I just happened to have lunch in Dover yesterday, for the first time. Very cool little town with a bunch of restaurants and pubs and stuff to do. There is also a river running through the old mill town with a shore line covered in old bricks and the odd bottle shard. I...

    My Clay spot

    Well the value is the coolness with it was acquired. I bet it will make a nice display. I bet there's a good, or not so good maybe, story about about how it got there. I can never help thinking about the last guy to use an artifact, whether it's a bottle, fishing gear or arrowhead.

    My Clay spot

    Great stories and amazing bottles. Any markings on the reel?

    First Dive and Finds 2018

    Awesome stuff. Look forward to your posts. They are even cooler because you are diving in rivers I'm not far from. Question; do you ever go back and explore the bank when you find good stuff? Im guessing some bank side dumps must expose themselves on the river bottom.

    First Dive and Finds 2018

    Very cool. You inspire me. I won't be doing any winter diving but I'm a fisherman who is on the water all the time including coastal areas. I don't hardly have to change my habits to look for bottles - I'm already out there. I don't like digging much (i work in utilities) so I have already...

    A.D. Richmond New Bedford ... Spittoon??

    New Bedford location and a business that closed in 1870s strongly suggest a whaling connection. I'd guess a ship board item associated with rendering blubber or at least a lamp that used whale oil?

    Phalon & Son's Perfumers round bottle, tell me about this bottle

    Thanks. I forgot about this post already. Cool little bottle, surprised how thin the glass is. I wish it wasn't so cloudy

    N.Y. bottle mark question

    I just dug the same one recently. Can't help you much but you may not get much else here. This forum isn't too active. Good stuff when you can get it, but not much of it.

    PEPSI or BRADY Bottles from PEORIA, IL (WANTED)

    Good luck with your search. Be interesting to hear more. I'm very interested in the bottling business in general now that I work in it myself. So many old, some tiny obscure local bottlers out there.

    Phalon & Son's Perfumers round bottle, tell me about this bottle

    I did enough research to know Phalon and Son's are common enough and the general age range. I didn't see any round ones in my image search. Are these less common? Would love if someone could date this and walk me through the process. I have my ideas but want to check. This bottle was...

    Still finding them at the stream

    Only had short time today. Instead of digging in the gravel bank, I just went up the opposite shore and double checked areas I'd already been over. The brook has risen and fallen several times since last trip. This time I focused on the steep bank, the spaces between the rocks and under brush...

    Bottle finds while brick hunting

    Funny, I dig out bricks all the time. Never thought of them as collectable. We have some old ones around here. Some really old houses have bricks. Nice sodas. I wish I could find more with intact paint. Don't know the mason but someone here will. If not google it. Masons are easy to date once...

    More from the stream

    Not currently selling anything. Collecting for my own pleasure at this point. Someday maybe. I would consider trade though. Anything local to central Ma is of interest especially embossed or painted label soda

    New England Vinegar Works Bottle?

    All the following pics are stole from this book: I think the your bottle is top, second from left. Some fancy ones. I'm too new in the hobby to know anything about the rarity or value of the bottles. It is something I am very interested in. I will be watching for some of those in the book.

    New England Vinegar Works Bottle?

    New england vinegar work's started in 1907 in Somerville Ma. by Arthur Rowse. In 1919 they started using the Veryfine brand name. In 1930 they started a plant in Littleton Ma. Which would become their home. They eventually evolved from vinegar to cider to apple juice. They became New England...

    Couple of cool liquor bottles to put you in mood for a feast

    Btw, I'm going with olive oil for the tall one. Neck is way too narrow for capers.
