    Possibilities but …

    I was out for a run this morning past the Jersey City Medical Center and saw they were doing some excavation. In the pit I could see some old pilings. The hospital is built on the route of the old Morris Canal (1829-1924). It was fenced off but I could see one broken bottle. Had to get in and...

    Pontil? Age? Used for what?

    I found this little bottle today and ask what might it have been used for and is it a pontil? Idea as to age? 4 inches tall and very rough. Thanks for your help

    C. Willms Jersey City bottle - good find/good price

    I found a Jersey City bottle in an upstate New York antique store for $8 Hutter made bottle with Hutter porcelain stopper. Shipping alone on eBay would have cost me more. Nice variation from the other C Willms bottle I have

    Wider, heavier and thicker

    The vast majority of my aqua blobs and hutchs are 2 1/8-2 1/4 inches wide at the base. However I have 5 aqua bottles with broken necks - four with the same address - which are 2 3/4 - 2 7/8 wide at the base. I don’t have a scale but they are clearly much heavier as well. Finally, they appear at...

    eBay disaster!!!

    i saw a Jersey City bottle on eBay that i had never seen before or heard of or could find thru google. An attic find, it was in beautiful condition with the Hutter porcelain stopper and everything. I watched the auction several times a day and was eventually the winner. The bottle arrived...

    Broken slick … I love it

    A short surface hunt where I’ve been hunting for months and where construction “progress” will soon cover the site forever Just a broken little slick but how can you resist these colors?

    Probably a stupid question

    Attached are two photos of L. Steinberger bottles from Jersey City. One with horizontal writing, the other vertical. In general, was one, vertical or horizontal in general use earlier than the other or was it simply a matter of preferred appearance? Thanks

    Dead Horse Bay - quantity vs quality

    i made my first visit to Dead Horse Bay today. I doubt i will ever see so many bottles in one area. Unfortunately all of what i saw was "mid-century". But the milk glass and smalls alone would make the trip worthwhile. I am convinced that somewhere under it all there is old stuff just...

    Cobalt inks?

    I picked up these two today. Are they inks and if not, what? One is a bit lighter in weight and color than the other and says “2 OZ” on the neck. The other, slightly heavier and darker says “77” or “LL” on the bottom. Any info would be greatly appreciated

    Back to the beach

    The beach in Jersey City on New York Bay is closed 7 months a year to protect migratory birds. It finally reopened yesterday October 1st and I got to today. Almost all of what I find there is with broken pieces or modern beer bottles but I do find shells, bone and iridescent coal. Today it was...

    Another almost

    My primary collecting is Jersey City bottles. Mostly embossed water/soda/beer. A couple of blocks from where I live was a funeral home on site for more than 100 years. Before that there was a beverage company: Chas. Harris. I’ve been searching there for months trying to beat construction. I...

    Aqua doesn’t begin to tell the story
