Hey MP thanks for the bottles. I got them today and all (but one) made it intact. The lighter colored Bluing bottle was smashed (Stupid Post Office) but the others are AWESOME. I am going to package some up for you this coming week. I will surprise you.
thanks again for your generosity...
I just love this thing. Not sure how old it is but I would put it in the 20's or so.
It is a Listerine Toothbrush Sterilizer.

I have a Citrate of Magnesia. I know this bottle is usually clear and machine made (at least the ones I have dug in the past) and not worth more than a buck or two.
I have this one though and have never seen it so crude and or this color. Anyone have info on worth??? Scarcity?
Any info...
I have a milk bottle from San Diego. Well actually I have several. The 2 shown in the first pic are identical except for the color. The one on the left is obviously clear but what color is the one on the right????? Is this what they call straw???? or is this the first step to SCA (I have...
Never heard of either of these. Any info???? Rare? Scarce? One of a kind? :o)
First is a "James Soda Works Los Angeles Cal". Hutch with a 4 pc mold.
Any info on worth? Scarcity would be appreciated.

Well getting them cleaned up slowly but surely. ;o) Here are some of the recent finds I have come across.
1st is a Liquozone bottle. Probably pretty common but I love the squat neck and crudeness of the glass. Mfg in Chicago as a Cure All and describes itself as "Not a Patent Medicine"...
Here are some of my new finds of the past month.
1st is a small Owl bottle. This one is ABM but very bubbly. Probably common but I love the bug eyed owl.
2nd is an Elliman's Embrocation. A first for me. I dont know what colors they come in but this one is a light apple green. Tried to...
I have a mason jar marked "Double Seal Mason" Nothing else on the jar. It is clear and missing the lid. Any info on Age? Worth?
TIA.......sorry I don't have a picture.

As I am fairly new to the forum it has come to my attention you wrote a book. Where does one find it and how does one get it?
Inquiring Archaeologists want to know....:o)

I have a bottle purchased from Ebay that I am confused about. It was touted as a poison, I really liked it but wasn't buying it for the poison angle.
Embossed:
AB Spink/Drysalter, Leeds
It is Aqua and ribbed.
Now my question. A Drysalter is someone who cured meats and did Pickling...
I found this bottle in my collection. The box it was in say's it was dug in Pasadena, Ca from an area called the Arroyo Seco. Dumps there went way back......
It appears to be a food jar. Possibly a mustard. Something tells me it is French.

I have a CFJ Quart mason with original lid and in perfect shape.
Where it usually says Mason's Patent it says Mason's PATETN. Any listing in the new Redbook for this jar?
TIA for any info you can give.

Here are the pics of the Williams' Balsamic Cream of Roses.
It is crude and has the markings SF and PGW (San Francisco and Pacific Glass Works) on the base.
Someone must know of the worth to some extent. Is this a scarce bottle?
BA
PS: Pics look good?
I have a bottle embossed "Williams' Balsamic cream of Roses" it is cobalt blue and about 5.25" tall.
Can't find a single reference to it through google.
Could I possibly have a very scarce bottle?
Any info would be MUCH appreciated. Pics to follow after cleaning.

I got this Midget CFJ mason. A little over 4 inches tall. Original CFJ lid.
Base has the proper markings for it not to be a 1971 repro.
Any idea what it is worth???
Thanks in advance

Went back to the sewer trench this evening and found this laying on top.
San Diego Soda Works. Seems to be from the 40's or 50's.
Anyone with some other info????? Value?
