Hey Rhona, AWESOME FIND [8D]! I have come across some 1/2pt bottles like these without the label. I was wondering if the bottom of yours has any embossing (words or numbers)? Also, is the word "speas" embossed anywhere on yours? Thanks, GARY
Hey Yooper14, That Ad is SOOOO COOOOL [:D]!! It makes me laugh every time I read it. What a HOOT [sm=lol.gif]! Boy were things different! "PC" would never let you get away with that now days...
Hey Spot, Nice finds [8D]! I think that Bryan is right, these look like "hutch" bottles. These types of bottles are usually very desireable. Did you dig these yourself? There are others on the forum that may be better at dating and giving a value for them [8|]...mid 1800s I believe...
Hello Doorsmaniac. Your Hersey bottle is from 1951 and was filled Scenectady, NY. The label was originally Red/White. If the bottle was in mint condition it could bring $15~20+[&:], so keep looking & digging! By the way, does your user name refer to The Doors, as in "Light My Fire" etc...
Hey all, I just sold a couple of different #13s on eBay. 1) a 1qt Ball> I got about $7 & 2) a Lamb 1/2ga> I got $3. Both were clear and in pretty good shape. I did NOT say anything in my listing about the "wives tale" that they were rare. In fact I had not heard of such a thing when I listed the...
Hello Tony. Veep came in two sizes; the 12oz, green glass, yellow & white label, made in NY in 1958. 7oz, green, white label, NY, 1961. Both are worth $15+ in mint condition. Too bad about the "massive crack" [:@]! Hope this is a help...
Hello Rockfish, I think the one with the little fellow on it is a "Brownie" soda. Is there a city or state listed on it? These bottles were from NY, MD, WV, VA, and produced from the late 40s to the early 50s. I like the brown bottle in the background...what is it?
Hey Rockfish, Boy! Those folks sure like to get there clothes clean [8D]. Unfortunately, from what I've heard, Clorox and the like (bottles) are not worth much. $.50~2.00 for the quart [:(]. I'm not sure about the gallon (I've not even seen one before) but likely to be in the same range, perhaps...
Hey Bryan, looks like you may have somthing there [8D]! I would dig it from one end to the other. I think other's would agree that it is not just the cellar hole but the whole foundation that would be worth some effort. I would start at one wall, dig down deep and advance the hole across the...
Hello All, I have up for auction on ebay a 7oz Black Rock Beverages ACL soda bottle. Bottled in Buffalo, New York circa 1958. I'd love for you to take a look. THANKS! Just type "black rock soda" into the eBay search...[8D]
Hello Bryan. Boy, the hunt is FUN isn't it [;)]?!? As far as a probe; there was quite an extensive discussion on them in this very forum (Digging and finding). There are two threads on page 8. One is titled, "Homemade Probe" and the other, "Are you looking for a probe?". Both of these have some...
Nice find [;)]! If your new place is from th 1870s then there is likley a privy or two in the back yard. DIG 'EM! It should be easy to get premission from the owner[8|]...
Hello Lisa, There are many great (and a few not so great) ideas for getting bottles to shine in the "Cleaning and Repairing..." forum! Bar Keepers Friend works good. But there's nothing like a good "tumble" [:)]!
On tuesday 4/19 a single ACL soda bottle sold for $99.66 on ebay [8D]!!! It is a "Nectar of the Gods" by the Nectar Bottling Co. of Pittsburg, PA.This is the most I have seen for an ACL, other than the Mountain Dew "Part Jug" that sold for over $2000! And it is much more than alot of the more...
Hey John, I like that bottle [8D]! It may be older than you think. It was made between 1965~68. It is also kind of rare. Of all the Crush bottles made it seems to have had one of the shortest runs. Value is $8~15+ depending on condition [;)]. Did you dig it up yourself?
Hello Bottleneck. Can you post a photo. Sounds as if your's is a 1 pint jar. It is used for home canning; preserves, jam, fruit, pickles, etc. Atlas jars are very common. As to, how old? I don't know how to determine that on an Atlas. I believe they have been made for a LONG time...[sm=rolleyes.gif]
