    Relic help South Carolina?Palmetto tree?

    Most military buckles from the Civil War era were filled in with lead. (I'm a big time Civil War junkie) This would have been too small for that. Some sort of watch fob?

    ball jars Bob Clay

    Hi Arthur, The colored Ball jars tend to be worth more. Especially certain greens, amber and true blues. As far as the numbers go, 13 is about the only number people really look for. Supposedly people thought it was unlucky and they broke them. The number on bottom was just a mold number...

    I posted this and another bottle on the pre 1900's forum. This poison has a burst top, "ribs" that go the length of the body on the front side only, and has a very crude neck. It is aqua in color. There is nothing on the back or bottom of the bottle. No pontil. The front says "POISONOUS". It...

    sorry

    Hey Jamie, No offense here. I have a tendency to get a bit fired up when someone starts shouting politics. The others beat me to the punch on saying that you are a well respected and valued member of this forum. Keep talking bottles. You and others here have a wealth of knowledge that makes...

    What is your reason for collecting bottles?

    I gotta agree with glass man on this one. It excites me to own a bottle that hasn't seen the light of day for 145 years or more. I always wonder about the people that used them. A love of history has a great deal to do with it.

    Lets all get back to the job at hand. talk bottles

    Hey Wilkie, Next time you want to part with some of those unembossed plain-janes, if you have anything that could pass for Victorian era, I'd be interested in them. I use a lot of unembossed bottles in my Civil War reenactments. I don't have the heart to use good ones for fear of breaking...

    My last wish ARTHUR

    Jamie, As far as the national gaurd goes, they and the Coast Gaurd, and all branches of service all signed and swore to the EXACT same contract I did, which states that they will face "all enemies of the United States, both foreign and domestic". They ABSOLUTELY knew there would be a chance...

    My last wish ARTHUR

    First of all Glassman, our army is made up ENTIRELY of volunteers. If they don't want to serve under our present commander in chief they don't have to enlist. Second, Bush is one of the most edjucated presidents we've had in office to date. And while we are on the topic of education, you should...

    Pristine whopper help

    Hello all! It's been a while since I've posted. I found this little guy at an antique mall in Gettysburg and wondered what it might be worth. It stands at 15" tall and is 6" across at the base. It has a very crude applied lip, and is in absolutely perfect shape. I've cleaned it up a little...

    Ball Jelly jar?

    I posted this one in the jars forum and didn't get any takers, so I'll try here too. This one stands 3 3/4" tall, and is 3" wide at the top. It has ten flat panels around the bottom, with "84 MADE IN THE USA 27" embossed around the lower edge. There is a double-dimpled ring on the bottom...
