Snagged these bottles today, before 1900?

The seam going half way up neck = mold blown and generally pre-1909. I like your Albany Drugstore. Nice haul!

New England Glass?

I'm very surprised that nobody has some information about this.

New England Glass?

All I know about this is what you see. And that it was found in the U.S.A.. Looks like a good size kick-up on the base so I assume it is pontiled.

Light Up Your Jar

Just came across these on eBay. I think they will light up your jar? Sounds very interesting. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Primitives-By-Kathy-Solar-Moon-Shiner-Solar-Powered-Canning-Jar-Lid-Light-Lamp-/310427237631?pt=Folk_Art&hash=item4846e7bcff#ht_2155wt_958

TINCT IODINE OF A DIFFERENT KIND

Why do you call it rolled? To me,a rolled lip is like the folded/inwardly rolled lips on some pontil bottles. Also,your site says this one is BIMAL. Does it have an applied lip and if so it must be blown.

TINCT IODINE OF A DIFFERENT KIND

1910 ~ 15 I think. One of the first ABM's judging by the mold seams.

TINCT IODINE OF A DIFFERENT KIND

This is the first like this that I have come across in my twenty years in the hobby. Is it scarce or just one that I have not seen? The lip is different and the skull and bones are smaller.

Flask Chart ?

If there is a good reproduction,do the charts mention it? Not the cheesy Nuline or Clevenger ones. Thanks

Historical Flask Lip Finish Question

I wonder if it is possible for a small spot like this to be polished without doing the entire bottle? By a glass company or something. And I know it was not ground during the manufacture process.

Historical Flask Lip Finish Question

I don't think it has ever been tumbled. There is much high point wear and little scratches. And the surface is not slick and overly shiney.

Historical Flask Lip Finish Question

I got this bottle I won on eBay today and at first I thought it had a ground lip. I looked at a scroll flask I own and it has a small spot on its lip that is very similair. So,does anybody know if these had the lips ground down this much during manufacture? The bottle has light high point wear...

Does it really appear to be contaminated? I dug a place like that in St. Augustine. And it certainly was contaminated. Fortunately,they let all diggers go for it for a few days before hauling it all off to Georgia. It was not holding nearly as nice stuff as your site though. Give it all you...

You are right about that! I would drive all the way to Key West to dig some goodies! Those local drugstores are great finds. As are most of the others.
