    olive coloured bottle (snuff?)

    I've been asked to sell a bottle for a friend and I'm trying to understand what it is worth. From it's age I would have suspected that evidence of a pontil scar would have bene present, but I think it's been refired, so no evidence remains, however the base is very crude. Its lip is also very...

    Two nice Australian Codd bottles

    Bought one for $20 and found the other one on the wekeend. Superb pictorials from Sydney, both displaying odd-looking 19th centutry Kangaroos.

    help with repairing a baby feeder

    I've found a damaged porcelain baby feeder, with under-glaze printing; very much like a typical pot lid. It's a very rare one from Sydney (Australia) and I'm wanting to try and get it repaired. To the best of the knowledge of my local collecting club there have never been any other pieces of...

    Victoria Cross manufacturing company

    Spring cleaning (in Winter!) and I turned up this one that I'd forgotten about. It's not quite mint, slightly sick and with a stress crack on the neck. It's also not cleaned very well... someday! [&:] It's a fairly standard shaped "worcestershire sauce" type bottle. It's embossing states...

    unknown bottle (odd shape)

    I found this one a while ago, I had originally placed it in with a group of 1800's salad oil bottles (some of which were found near this one), but now I'm not so sure. My wife reckons perhaps it orignally contained candy, but I think the top is too thin. Perhaps vinegar? I would guess it's...

    Unknown pot lid (perhaps Australian)

    I don't know anything about this lid, except that I haven't seen any like it previously. I've checked http://www.deantiques.com/PLG/ and cound't see anything that looked close. It was found digging in Sydney recently (and no, we haven't found a single intact lid so far!). Does anyone have any...

    Sum pot lids wot I found

    I've already a message here, discussing cleaning pot lids. I thought I'd attach some examples. Mostly before's and afters (in most cases, the afters still require a lot more work!). And also just a couple of the rarer lids I've found.

    Cleaning stained pot lids

    I've a few lightly stained pot lids, it's been recommended that I could use household bleach to clean them up. My question is: is bleach a good idea? If so what concentration? I gather the best way to neutralise it after bleach is to place it in your cistern. regrds Warith...

    diving finds from Australia

    I am new to this forum, so I thought I'd start with a photo of the result of a recent dive form coastal NSW, Australia. The best find was certainly the 26oz Pocock codd (it wasn't mint, there is a crack on the back) and the three other codd bottles (Tooheys and Tooths), however I also really...

    Australian Bottles wanted: Newtown/Sydney

    I'm fairly new to this hobby, I've been a mad-keen snorkeller for about twenty years, however it's only recently that I've been realising that below the kelp there are 100 year old bottles! Anyhow I've decided that I'm going to try and find/collect bottles from Newtown, Australia. If there...
