    Trying to date Pabst beer bottle?? Bought on E-bay.

    Thank you. Found this E-bay item: http://cgi.ebay.com/1903-Pabst-Beer-Bottle-with-Label_W0QQitemZ120013770784QQcmdZViewItem However noted what appears to be a different lip. Does not appear to be a crown type. Thought maybe the embossing was prior to the label? Guess that is not always the...

    Trying to date Pabst beer bottle?? Bought on E-bay.

    This is a "Pabst" beer bottle obtained from E-bay. The listing said "slug plate" if I recall correctly but I do not think it is a slug plate----only embossed. Any help accurately dating this bottle or any other info is greatly appreciated. I hope to add several pics to include the base of the...

    INKS? Age?? Any Value??

    A couple of old ink bottles? The monogram is SMCo all interlocked. The #1-Monogram is all that I can see written on the larger bottle. Unusual thing about it is the seams. They go up to sides of the bottle from around a square seam at the very edge of the base. Then the entire top part seems to...

    HELP!! A real dump to dig??

    Really, really appreciate the help. Galvanized is out! Glad I asked before I made it. Sounds like I would do much better to make the first probe all welded, probably 3-4', coupled probe sounds only appropriate if this one easily bottomed out. Question now is the tip. Two suggestions gathered...

    When did the SLUG PLATES disappear??

    Thank You all very much. Seen several slug plates out there on different types of bottles. Sometimes it seems as if all the dating information you can get is not very helpful. The bottle mold type, the top, and sometimes a slugplate seemed to make the bottle not fit in any single time frame...

    Not sure if this of any help nor I do guarentee accuracy. But I recollect that only bottles after prohbition (1935-1965) bear the phrase "Federal Law Prohibits Sell of This Bottle". Other than that I am afraid I cannot offer any information other than that the above information was placed on...

    Ok, Not to sure about this one. Seems that most of what I have read indicates that bottles made prior to 1915 will turn purple if left in the sun?? Is this true?? If so, how long does this take?? Seen some beautiful hutch type bottles that are a wonderful purple. Is this a glass color, sun...

    HELP!! A real dump to dig??

    An old timer turned me on to his digging spot from about 20 years ago. He talked about a dozen mounds of which he had dug about three. He seemed to think that the bottles he found dated in the 20s and 30s. As I followed the hand drawn map he made me for me it was not long befor I started finding...

    SILVER DOLLAR Pure Rye Whiskey??

    Thank You NYCFlasks! I thought it was a really decorative bottle and could not understand why I could not find any information. If it was indeed made in the 1930s that would definetly explain a lot of the difficulty I was having. Again, Thank You Sir!
