since its still too froze to dig up here I have been poking around yard sales and such and recently came across some old crocks and stoneware gallon jugs, the jugs have HD ROSE MONTROSE COLO on them and most of the crocks have WESTERN POTTERY MFG> DENVER COLO> on them except one 6 gallon that...
Thank you for the information, The color actually runs to an almost green color in the light but my camera skills are lacking ,the back ground is actually a piece of white cardboard with a desk lamp over it . I will leave it out on the porch and see what happens thanks again
Here is another bottle I am seeking info on, it says Tricopherous For the skin and Hair on the front Directions in the Pamphlet on the back Barrys on one side and New York on the other it has three wavy lines above the directions no marks on the bottom and is a yellow color I think its a...
hello, OK I bought a bunch of bottle books, evidently not the right ones, and am humbly seeking info on the one and only Warners I have found,it is a kidney and liver cure from Brooklyn. Is this a late bottle or an earlier one? the top has several "runs" and a very defined ridge inside where it...
sure enough, maybe they used opium on the mules ands burros to keep em calm on those steep mountain trails when they packed out the ore? or maybe it was the packers using the stuff any way the bottles were buried in several feet of livery "duff" with hundreds of shoes ,horse and man, gunstocks...
hey Warren, I dug out an old livery stable last summer and it was full of those bottles,I was told they were opium bottles but what the heck were they doing in a livery?
Thanks warren , they're nothing special except to the rich tourists and wealthy second home owners up here, the light blue hutch is supposedly worth 1500 bucks the others 100 to 300 too bad .I dont need the money . I would imagine alot has changed in Colo since you were here especially around Denver

hello , here is a picture that shows the gray bottle and some of the other colors we have found it isnt perfect but it is the only Frank Dalle bottle known in my small circle of bottle nuts one of whom has been collecting Telluride bottles for over 50 years I tried to get close ups of the neck...
I have witnessed a two foot diameter auger used for digging pilings roll up dozens of bottles in an old beaver pond/dump ,although not all were intact the broken ones appeared to have been that way before being augered. I would be skeptical about augering in rocky,hard ground though, but then...
thank you B A and Warren does sun light darken this coloration ? I have a soda bottle from around 1905 to 1912 that is a real dark smoke it was made by a Frank Dalle &Co in Tellurid Colo. its kind of crude ,bubbles, a crooked rough seam where the top was put on and of course the misprint of...
hello to all, being new to bottlemania I have been researching a little and have found out about manganese turning amethyst and selenium turning straw but what makes glass turn smoke gray? I have a couple of "shoofly" flasks that are smoke and several three piece whiskeys that color and have yet...
Thanks Bob , very helpful info here is a picture of the bottom the diamond in the middle has no I in it but a circle and then a 7 on one side and a 3 on the other . Someone told me that one of the numbers is the year made and the other is the plant it was made in , is this correct? It is now...
