    Help with an age and rarity of Blu Ribon ACL

    So this beauty was a gift from my wife's grandmother, who knows how long she's had this thing, but was trying to get a date and not sure how to read the 2 numbers on the bottom?? Also what is the name for this type of closure? It's hard to get a good pic of the base, but the one starting with...

    The big bottle that led me to the pretty sweet dump

    So I'd already posted the pics of this big guy, at the end of that last post, but thought, maybe it wasn't getting enough views?! I'm trying to find some info on duraglass, or at least something that mentions, gal jugs?? Are these common? I did see where one article mentioned that twin finger...

    Pretty sweet dump found on the river bank

    Here's the bottle I could see lying on its side, in the river (or where water should've been, however everything here is low), so while I'm working, i walk over, since it was laying there for at least 30 days! Just up the embankment from where this one found, was the dump site

    So is this a pretty early insulator?

    Yea, was the wife's grandfather, who I believe retired from AT&T, but no it would've had to have been worth a lot more before she'd part with that one! That surface is what had me scratching my head, so thanks for the insight @David & @Canadian

    So is this a pretty early insulator?

    Found this insulator in a box, in the grandfather in laws workshop! Been sitting on it for over a year, but just getting around to posting/asking questions! Looks very crude, with almost like a surface coating?? There is a yellowish tint, but I'm thinking it may just be dirty! So is there...

    Pretty sweet dump found on the river bank

    So most of the waterways down here are still pretty low, which had me walking the river bank after finishing up at a customers house! Found so many bottles, cone tops, flat tops, however most of the bottles were just slick, cork top, fifth and pint bottles with the "federal law prohibit..."...
