    Could it be a Ramsey jar lid?

    This lid has held my eye since I first spotted it in a collection I picked up this week. I suspect it is a lid to a Ramsey jar, it matches the written description, and it sort of looks like the line drawing in my copy of Redbook, but there is a difference. The line drawing shows a center post...

    TV Show Extreme Collectors

    I am sure that some of you have seen this show before, but today was a first for me. It caught my eye with the segment on Bottles, and the collection of Ferdinand, who I think is the FOHBC President. Way cool.

    Another fine local milk.

    I have had the short round pyro quart shown for some years, at least 20. It was with great joy that the tall round pyro quart next to it was given to me recently. While they look the same, I know to us true collectors, they are very different bottles. The condition of both is about perfect...

    Latest flasks

    I was lucky enough to land a "F & D Brandes Grand Central Depot NY " flask recently, and nearly at the same time, one of the super common "Brandes Brothers New York" flasks with a label advertizing "Grand Central Rye Whiskey". Thought they made a nice pair so wanted to share them with you...

    Distant bottles

    While reading Jims post on his 30th Paterson hutch, he mentioned how far it had traveled. I was wondering how many of us have bottles in our collections that have, like Jims hutch, traveled a great distance. I have a flask in my collection, "John Heinbockel/cor. Hicks & Fulton/Sts/Brooklyn" is...

    Local Milks

    The bottle gods have shined their good grace upon me. On my vacation I stopped into a local shop, and why look at that, a pyro glazed Sayville (well, West Sayville to be truthful) milk bottle that I did not have was looking back at me. I like the hands holding the "vitamin" playing cards...

    Re: More Brooklyn flasks

    Ah, a day off at last, and a chance to share with all of you my finds, one from the bay, and one from an antique show we visited today. The Harder flask was from eBay, and the Asendorf from todays antique show.

    Re: Thatcher codes

    Is anyone familiar with the Thatcher date codes, or know of a website with Thatcher date code information? Picked up an early local milk, and I suspect it is a Thatcher bottle. Marked on the base with a "T" inside a triangle and some 2 digit numbers.

    U. S. Treasury ink

    I was on a house call a few weeks back, and there was an ink in the lot, embossed U. S. Treasury, it was damaged (cracked) and did not take it, but it has stuck in my mind. What can you tell me about it? It was clear or aqua in color.

    New Jersey milks

    Picked up a neat pint slug plate milk from the "New Brunswick/Registered/Hygienic/Milk Company" (all on the slug plate). On the base is "T. MFG. Co." so it is an early Thatcher, I would guess age wise 1915 to 1920.

    Dreyer bottle wanted

    I am looking for a bottle with the name Dreyer on it, if it should start with a "J" that would be super (such as J. Dreyer). A friend of mine has asked me a number of times over the decades if I have ever seen a bottle with his name on it, and I have not. Would like it as a gift for him, great...

    William Bosse Spruce Beer

    A good friend of mine and fellow bottle buff (he is big on milks), who is not online, picked up a stoneware bottle recently. While I have not seen it yet, he asked me to ask around for information on it. He describes it as dark brown, and stamped (debossed) with "William Bosse/Spruce Beer"...
