    Bottle Stand with free bottles

    I went for a short drive around the old neighborhood on my lunch break the other day and spotted this old vegetable stand turned into a bottle stand. A house had just been torn down behind it and apparently these came out of the basement. All the bottles were free for the taking and most...

    Smiling skull poisons KU-19

    I recently bought some poisons and other bottles and have two KU -19s, nicknamed the Smiling Skull. One has the original labeled S & D cork. Both are base embossed S&D 173., are clean and are for sale if anyone is interested. I'm asking $180.00 for the one with the cork and $160 for the other...

    Old photo of baby drinking from bitters bottle.

    Here's a cool photo I stumbled on while researching nursing bottles. Looks like a baby getting a dose of bitters instead of milk.

    Blown Three mold decanter G III-15

    I picked up this decanter today at a shop. Got a good deal because the top is broken off. I have the top, and the old pressed stopper. What I don't know is should I repair this or is it not worthy? Also, what would this sell for if unbroken? I think it's a GIII-15 if I'm not mistaken. I've...

    Great video of diggers in England

    I don't usually post video links but I stumbled on this tonight. It's a cool video a few years old of a group of English gentleman who dig Victorian dumps on the Isle of Wight. You have got to see the stuff they have...pot lids, etc. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/7938574.stm...

    Burst top bottles

    Apparently it was a common practice to just burst off the top of many English inkwells, leaving the lip rough and jagged. I can't say I like them too much, but they are neat, except that they all look terribly broken. My question is this: What did the bottle look like with a proper closure...

    Warners w/Reversed Safe in Dark Amber

    I just picked this up recently. It's the first reversed Safe Cure I've owned. It is so dark it looks like black glass unless you can get some light behind it. We finally got some sun at the end of the day today so I snapped some pics. Does anyone know if this is a normal color for these...

    I'm going in and I'm going in deep

    I just can't take it anymore...all this talk and the higher than high prices being paid for Cokes. I decided to try my luck and sell a bottle that took me 25 years to find. Here's my amber Coke. It really is very rare. We'll see just how rare when this madness ends...

    Boston Importers quart

    I saw a nice tooled lip olive colored quart in a shop nearby the other day. It was embossed in script around the shoulder "Boston Importers" . It looked foreign to me for some reason. Does anybody know anything about it. Sorry I didn't snap a pic. I passed on it and thought I would...

    The humble reel ink collection

    I just decided to start collecting these "reel" or "spool" inks now to see how many colors I can get. The reason I'm doing it is that I have had this amber one for a couple of years and I couldn't sell it on E bay , at flea markets or at bottle shows. Nobody seems to be very interested in...

    Earliest known Iron Pontilled Bottles

    I would like to see some examples of early iron pontilled bottles. I don't have any, so I'm no help, but what are the earliest known examples of iron pontillled bottles. A recent post about the broken Alfs sodas listed on E bay has made me curious as to the earliest known use of that method of...

    Check out this site if you would like to see some interesting and creative uses for recycling old glass and bottles. Lots of stained glass windows and other curiosities. Thought it was kind of neat how some people utilize found objects. http://inspirationgreen.com/recycled-glass-bottles.html

    Pontilled latticcino pink and white bottle

    I found this at a shop and I couldn't pass on the price. 5" tall, pontilled and free blown. Pink lattice appears to have 10 lines between 11 solid white lines twist in a clear glass gather. Does anyone know the origin or age? It does have some minimal base wear. I haven't run acroos much...

    Hand blown Pairpoint glass dish

    Here is a nice little piece of blown glass I picked up. I did some research and I think it's Pierpoint glass from the 1920s era. If i'm not mistaked, it's a sherbert dish, similar to a compote, but smaller. Blown glass ware is not my specialty, I just liked the graceful delicate shape and it...

    Milk Glass "MYKRANTZ'S CREAM OF BENZOIN

    I picked this bottle up some time ago at a shop and I have never found out anything about it. Who knows about it's value, company history, etc?? I've never seen one before and can only assume it was a cosmetic product. Embossed "MYKRANTZ'S / CREAM OF BENZOIN / AND WITCH HAZEL "...
