moxie notes
couple round bottoms or torpedoes or whatever they are called. The one on the right embossed with VINCENT HATHAWAY & CO. BOSTON on one side and GINGER ALE on other. There is a round seam around the bottom, lip (no expertise here) , pretty hefty - would make a good billy club.
The torpedo shaped...
Pint Mason, Block Print, Shoulder not Square or Rounded, Whittled and a nice Swirl, Top looks ground to me,Side seams extend to top through the threads, But the bottom marks look new to me (But I'm a beginner)
To the left of marks is a small glob of glass, to the right of marks is a big seed...
This bottle is from a local shop that was open many years ago where my grandmother used to shop. The value to me is in the paper label which is like tissue paper now. How can I preserve this label and still display it ?
This bottle is 4.5 inches tall but only holds one ounce of liquid. You can see from the bottom that this bottle is almost all glass. Mold seams are on the diagonal
This old pot looks like a bean-pot is supposed to look like. No marks at all, several cracks but still appears solid , no lid. 5.5 inches tall , 6 inches diameter at its widest
Two bottles about 2 inches tall. Ezra Kelly Watch Oil. Bottle on left is corked and sealed, bottle on right has been used and changed color. Bottles were packed in wooden box , priced at 33 cents
This Brookfield 00 has a misprinted F and top marks are overprinted. If a coin is missprinted like that it can be a premium coin, does this error on the insulator make it more collectable ?
